Aguila 22LR 1B222328 High Velocity 40 gr CP RN 5000 per case

with shipping $.045 per round, cheapest in a long time.

I have some of those. Let's just say they have a unique smell when fired.

That's a great price for ammo in a non target gun. Recent manufactured Aguila is not Eley primed, and some Bullseye shooters are not giving it good reviews.

walmart had plenty of federal 325 round boxes toay at $16.94 each no limit on quanity.

From watching others at the range, the majority of them can't shoot worth a darn. Don't listen to others find out for yourself.

I know I would have a really hard time shooting up 5000 rounds. Plus, it's probably not the quality ammo you would want to stockpile. I would pay a little more and get some quality ammo you would be proud to put in your ammo inventory. That is, unless you are planning on shooting up 5000 rounds next week. . .then I would buy it.

The walmart close to me has had a empty ammo case for a while now

Wal Mart sells motor oil, the shelves are full, and in sporting goods the ammo shelves do not have 22 LR ammo -- not even empty spaces where it might be stocked.

Bullseye shooters buy $15 / 50 count box match ammo. I won a brick of the stuff -- a real So What? -- when matched with my shooting ability! I'll take the $13 per box savings.

EDIT: Range Report Ammo was accurate in Kimber 82G target rifle, S&W M41, and Ruger Mk II pistol. Shot at 50 yards at small bore rifle target with ~1" diameter bullseyes. There were no 5 shot 1 hole groups but the Aquila ammo was as accurate as anything else I usually shoot for accuracy. Said another way, the ammo was more accurate than the low price would indicate. I was pleased with the accuracy.

What??? I guess you don't shoot much, maybe a part time Hobby, Myself and my son easily shoot 500 rds of .22 one each outing ( twice a week) We also bring the 9mm and each shoot 100 rds, then I also bring 1 or 2 AR's and maybe shoot 40-80 rds , and I may also bring about 20-40 7.62 rds. . When we show up to the range we bring no less the 7 guns. Better ammo? like I said before most guys can't shoot to the quality of bulk ammo, Aquila is fine ammo, at 25yds scoped (9x) we are shooting sub 1/2 inch groups, often hitting the same hole back to back, we see NO need for "Match" or better ammo. At 50yds we are centering 10mm dots, that's smaller than a Dime, at 100yds we shoot 2" dots with 1" groups scoped. I easily have 25,000 rds in the house at all times, I try to buy 1000 or 5000 rds at a time because it's cheaper and using the same ammo keeps you shooting consistent. I do use GOOD ammo, Supermax and Interceptors, or Val-raptors in my slide fires, but that starts to get expensive after a while. Occasionally we take out the Full Auto Ar and I have been playing with an AR with a Echo Trigger lately.

Good price but 16.95 shipping to NJ sort of negates the price, now that is for a brick of 500

About 4 years ago I bought a bucket of 1400 for 49.95
Remington Goldens don't like them cant use in any semi auto, can only use in my model 15 or my Henry lever. Believe it or not don't I get a brick of 525 as a present

Aguila 22 has always shot well for me but it will jam my 10-22 sometimes. CCI never jams on me and can be had for a few dollars more. If I was shooting bolt or lever guns I’d go ahead and get more.

STILL A MYSTERY why some WM's can get ammo & others never. Gotta be they don't think we should have it & took it on themselves to not sell it. Drive to a WM an hour away & there's plenty.

There are three WMs near me, in Prescott, and all have had 22 ammo on the shelves since early this year. Two have only a few brands and limited stock but one always has a good supply of CCI, Winchester, Federal and Remington. I check the WMs down in Phoenix about once a month and can't remember the last time I saw 22 on the shelves.

As for the Aguila deal, that's a great price for very good ammo. Last time I got it from Academy for 4.9 a round and don't remember having a single problem with any of it. It was as just good and as accurate as CCI in all my 22s.

I'm over here in Payson.. it was dry this summer but they now have a variety to choose from..

Funny, those that say its not good ammo - have you actually shot any recently? My kids and I take the 10/22 out and run through 500 round easily on a good morning shoot. I got 5000 rounds of Aguila Super Extra HV copper-plated and we shot it against 4 other brands of 22LR. Guess what? We consistently were getting the tightest groups with the Aguila and it had no failures. No, we did not shoot against match grade ammo (for plinking??) we shot against the bulk boxes of things like Federal that we had on hand. Bottom line, terrific ammo at a great price. Have a Great Day!

Agreed, with everything but the 10-22, I have a 10-22 tactical take down and I think it's junk compared to the 15-22. Owners have to put a ton of money into the trigger group to get the thing to run as good as the S&W 15-22. The trigger reset is too long to get the gun to rapid fire like the S&W. Many say that it is the best .22 rifle out there, but I can't see that.

I've gone through over 5000rds of this in the last couple months. The Aguila priming is a non issue. 3 light strikes max in that round count. Find another bulk for the money that can say the same. As far as accuracy, I can pull a quarter inch at 25yds with it from any of my capable guns. Maybe not every time, but it shoots well enough. Better again than any other bulk I've ever used. The issue I do have with it is it sticks in pistol mags. MKIV or Buckmark either one (11 different mags tested), on a full mag, its sluggish to pop the next round. Load only 7, not so bad. Full mag, get ready to click on an empty chamber because the round didn't pop up in time for the bolt to catch it. But unless you're speed shooting, its the best bang for the buck you will find. I think I paid $219 for 5000 the 2 times I got it from Target Sports USA shipped.

What gun wins the steel challenge titles year in and year out? If you're just trying to burn through a 25rd mag as fast as you can, I can see here, but I think you're off base. Some may hate it, but the 10-22 is still the most popular 22 auto ever made. The trigger on a stock 15-22 isn't anything to scream about either. And you can put a good bit of cash into one of those as well. Nobody that does any real amount of shooting leaves a stock trigger in either rifle. An unpopular statement in the S&W forum, but thats how it is.

Agreed. It shoots really close to CCI SV and its the cheapest stuff you can buy. I mean really, what ammo do you currently find cheaper than Aguila SV? Nothing for me so far.

And those are $3000. guns a stock 10-22 is garbage, I've heard different manufacturer.

$50 shipping seems excessive to me?

how heavy is 5k of 22lr?

Target Sports USA. 5000 rounds for $229 with free shipping. My favorite .22 ammo. Goes thru my MP22, SR22, 10/22 and MP 15/22 flawlessly. Great ammo and yes it has a different odor when fired. I get great groupings out of it too. I find it to be on par with CCI.

Shipping is $25.

Not too many serious bullseye shooters left anymore anyway.
Plenty good enough for hunting and target practice from field positions.

I have the Aquila pre and post Eley primer. Haven't noticed any difference.

No more so than a stock 15-22 is. Only difference is, there are parts available to make the 10-22 a whole lot better, and in more than one direction. I honestly don't know what you could do to a 10-22 to put $3000 into one to be honest. Unless you're into gold plating.

I suppose you COULD drop that much into either gun. I also agree that totally stock, neither of those guns would be favored for serious steel challenge shooters. I do see WAY more, (almost exclusively) Rugers than the S&W's. I bought 1 of each for "general use" & kept the S&W stock.

I don't remember having any problem with Aquila ammo, per se, but I will say that my older semi-auto pistol from the 1960's can be pretty picky on ammo...a lot of them were back then. Sounds like a great price on .22lr, but I think I already have enough. Thanks for the heads up, though.

That particular Aguila ammo shoots just fine in my K-22 Masterpiece.

I bought the std. velocity version, ONLY because it was priced right and high velocity is not allowed in my club's indoor range.

Accuracy in any of my revolvers seems OK. Accuracy in my semis was OK as well, but it wouldn't feed thru the magazines.

I could get away with maybe 2 or 3 rounds loaded. If I tried to load more they would hang up. For some reason they are "sticky", for lack of a better term.

With no equipment change or cleaning, when I put 10 Federals in the mag they all feed and shoot perfect.

Your rifle might be short stroking. The semiautomatic .22LR firearms I have recommend high velocity ammo in order to make sure the action operates properly. Since your range put a nix on high velocity ammo, that may be a mute point for that instance but it might help you out for shooting elsewhere.

I didn't try it in a rifle. I tried it in 2 pistols, one a S&W, the other a Ruger.

When the next round failed to feed I removed the mag and found the loaded rounds were not up to the top of the mag. No issue with stroking - there was no round there to catch.

Pushing up and down on the ammo made it quite clear that they were sticking. I had other types of high and low velocity ammo and they all worked fine.

Ok. Just throwing out a possibility. No harm. No foul.

Yeah, its sticky. Its ammo, not magazine or gun. I can load up any of my 11 ruger mags or my 5 Buckmark mags and pretty much see it. Might due better in hot weather, but load 9 and pull the button down. Let it go and the rounds will slowly move upward. Its not the mags. This only happens for me with Aguila. It also clogs up in a BX25 mag in the same manner. Didn't have any much of an issue in my cousin's 15-22 last weekend, but did have a couple. Revolver, bolt action, neither should have any trouble, but that sticking in magazines is a downer for semi-auto's. The 15-22 was having major light strikes as well, but we narrowed that down to crud on the bolt where the case sits. Scraped that out and cleaned it off and never another issue. The gunk was keeping the case too far away for the firing pin to get it good. As far as light strikes in my guns, I think I'm up to 7 in about 7000rds now.

But... with Blazer being available right now for $10 more a case, I don't see any reason for me to buy Aguila.
