Well, I said I should test out other CCI Mini-Mag cartridges and so I did. See my new Ammo Test Vid: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nc-RZMWmrJulmXk.html

Do not ignore Aguila 22lr, great ammo at a good price.

Great video, love the use of the phone for sighting and recording the test. However, I did find that I was holding my breath just before you fired. Just too realistic.

Found this video because I just bought 500 rds of Aguila and have never fired them before. I got the Target Competition rounds. Nice video, enjoyed that.

Methodical and well thought out, love it!

love watching the ammo tests thank you

Really appreciate your approach here, and thank you. You've opened my eyes up to needing to try other ammo to see what mine likes.

Wow! I just found your channel and this stuff & controlled shooting is incredible! The aguila performed phenomenal but just like in your other video the federal is incredible considering the price! Wow, hats off to you sir!

Excellent ammo choice!

Good review, especially that you shot three groups for each ammo. That's important because a single group might be too random. Only multiple groups can show consistency. 👍

I dont think people realize what superior camera work you've done here....

Dang Moondog, you were on point today, And so was the Aguila

Aguila lookin' great! Thanks for the video

See how the crosshairs basically cover & conceal the red bulls-eye, I always use a larger than usual bull so I can center the crosshairs in it and have plenty left to see. Doing so has helped shrink my typical group size about 40%!

Great video. My 10/22 also has the same results with Aguilla but CCI usually next best very close results.

22lr firearms have particular tastes in their favorite foods just like people do. Step one after obtaining any 22 firearm is feed it everything you can lay your hands on to determine its favorite.

I love the Aquila ammo.

It just totally depends on what your rifle likes. You should try a few more brands of ammo. Great video and great shooting 👍🏼

Strange. I will watch for your next video

Impressive Aguila performance. Try 'rim-sorting' by measuring the rim thickness and I think the performance becomes more consistent.

Thanks for the video 👍

Outstanding video,....!!

You should try the cci mini mag round nose. They are more accurate in all my rifles than the hollow points. Thanks for the video Brother. Good shoot'n. 🤠👍

Very interesting. I have shot the same three ammo selections from two of my Ruger 10/22s and a Marlin 925 bolt action and have had the same results. The aquila ammo was superb. I started off with the federal match using it to zero the scope and it shot so bad I thought there was something wrong with the rifle/scope combo but it did the same on all three rifles. Tried using CCI and not that much better. My grandson gave me about 200rounds of aquilla and wow, what a difference. Best of all it was far cheaper than the CCI or federal. I also have a Browning Buckmark pistol and it shoots really well with the aquilla. No FTE or FTF either.

Nice video, thank you

Well done 👍 thank you

Very informative

Just bought a box of 500Aguilas ,im not mistaken, thanks bro.

Very good video. Objective.

Great video. I've done some accuracy testing at 50-100 yards with several of my rifles and had similar results with CCI (both mini-mags, velocitors, and segmented). Surprisingly poor accuracy compared to some less expensive bulk packs I tried at the same time. Automatch did better for me also than the CCI's, but the Aguila Super Extras and Browning 36gr HPs did best. Seen mentioned that the Brownings and Aguila both have significant crimps which can help with accuracy out of some rifles.

Really depends on lot numbers with the Federal automatch in 2022 at least. I bought 5 or so boxes last year and literally I don't think there was a single malfunction so I decided to buy another 15,000 rds of it over the last couple months its extremely hit or miss now some boxes (at least half) turn even the most reliable semi auto into a single shot at best, very disappointing Federal!! I understand bulk ammo don't have much quality control but jeeze half these rounds barley have enough powder to get the bullet out of the barrel

Thank you for doing so much of my homework, I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos .I also enjoy your scientific approach to the art of shooting. Warmest regards from Delaware

If you don't mind the lower velocity, you should try the CCI Standard Velocity too.

Can I suggest that you use an OAL Comparator and Calipers and record the OAL of those that your rile likes. I have a semi Match Chamber and longer OALs of 0.8+ are not as accurate (generally) as those around the 0.765 mark.

FTR.... It is said Ah-gee-la..... Not A-gwilla Spanish for Eagle.

CCI SV has always been the best as far as CCI goes for me, even better when sorted. I shoot only CCI SV and Aguila SV as far as cheap 22 ammo goes. As a rule of thumb tho from my experiences anything SV is always more consistent than HV when it comes to .22lr and always it depends on what that gun likes. All 22lr firearms are super picky and like what they like as far as ammo. I have rifles that shoot cci SV great and I have rifles that stink with it. I have rifles that shoot lights out with Lapua Center x and others that dont.

I have been choosing Aguila 36 and 40gr super extra over everything else for a while. Less expensive. Accurate. YET to have a dud. I have fires thousands of rounds. Runs in the fussiest of pistols. Minus the Saturday night specials like my Sterling. I would trust this to always go bang in a self defense situation honestly. I found some today and picked it over mini mags. Smells like super glue when fired though. lol.

After I've seen this I went to buy aguila 4000 rounds can't wait to go to try them. Im Glad I found this during ammo shortage in Canada. Cci mini mag was my first choice could shot same hole all day long. Let see what this can do with my rifle.

Nice. Would be nicer if you would do a double blind test.

Nice video, I knew from the getgo that Aguila will win. It is very good ammo.

I’d like to see how the 0030 CCI 40gr/1235fps compared to the Aguila

In my gunclub we have shot Aguila and cci 40gr lead roundnose, and we cant tell the difference (15 m pistol 22lr)

My Rossi likes most brands, so the auto match does me just fine for the price 💪 I like the terminal properties of federal champion 36gr hollow point but have heard that they're inconsistent here on KZfaq (I've bought a cpl bulk packs and never noticed a problem with them personally, and they expand quite well out of a shorter barreled rifle)

Aqulia I got ruger 22 that loves it

I've revisited your excellent video just now, as I've been doing extensive ammo testing with these and other brands of ammo from my almost stock 10/22 with BX trigger. I noticed that you are using a Lead Sled. Does the Sled make a big difference in accuracy vs. a conventional bench rest? Do you recommend the SLed for ammo testing? Also, I get much smaller group sizes with CCI 36 gr than with the CCI MM 40 gr round nose. Oddly, I do better with the Aguila 40 gr round nose than the Aguila 38 gr HP. Go figure.

Now try it in my Wildcat and the Federal group looks like the Aguila group here.

Thanks

The Aguila HP rounds. Not a 22 guy here but in 5 22 rifles I checked the Aguila will not feed and if it does? will not eject. MAJOR hard to fix jam

My 10/22 gets 1 MOA with aguila cprn. 2.5-3 MOA with Federal,2-2.5 with mini mags and 4+ MOA with wildcats. These are for 10 shot strings using mean diameter calculation. I also get very good groups with cci subsonic. This is all tested at 50 yards. I need to test at 100 yards as most of these ammo’s go transonic at about 50 yards.

What brand scope were you using? I really liked the reticle

its actually "Ah-Gee-La" I really like the Aquila. especially in my 22 handguns. The Federal AutoMatch works well in my Savage semi-auto rifles.

What are the most powerful ammunition in cal. 22 lr to use for self defense with the gun ???? Thank you Best regard for all from Italy.

why compare copper plated with lead bullets and why compare hollow point with round nose? Love your work but would like to see comparisons of different brands and with similar bullet types and velocity eg Aguila 38 HP and CCI 36GR HP and federal 36gr HP all hollow points and all high velocity rating

Can you do the same test with a bolt action rifle and not a semi auto?

These results do not surprise me, Aguila Super Extra is excellent, more power then a match round but great accuracy, btw the powder they use smells like the powder in SK match ammo, and that is excellent stuff.

I shoot Aguila 38 grain "Super Extra" 1280 fps jhp, and the same CCI and Federal as you out of my almost stock Ruger 10/22 with BX trigger. Aguila and Mini-mags are nearly the same, with the edge to Aguila, while Federal Auto Match trails far behind. So your results and mine are not the same. It must be the gun?

It seems you held steadier when shooting the Aguila, more in a rush with the other rounds..

Wonder if the HP gets dicked up as it chambers in an autoloader?

Well, i just purchased 10, 50 round boxes of Aguila Super Extra, and today used them at the 22 LRM, and had so many misfires from 4 boxes that i unloaded 10 10/22 magazines, and 10/ 10 round Vudoo magazines and gave them to the range owner! This ammo is horrific! Still have 6 boxes that i haven't used! I shot these out of my Vudoo, i didn't shot any out of my 10/22, may try those this coming week? The firing pin looked like a good strike, but it would misfire, if i reloaded some of them they would fire, don't know why? Will let you know!

Why did You push trigger much slower shutting with Aguila?😉

Rit dit dit di doo!

Get cci standard and Aguila standard velocity and Norma match if you can I don't think it's worth it unless u find it on sale tho

Ive recently tried the Aguila brand and found then to be superior to most other brands in my rifle.

My opinion, uninvited of course, but shoot the lead bullets through the barrel first before putting copper through it.

Honestly accuracy is nice but reliability to feed and eject without malfunctions is probably the most important I'm trying to find right now.

Wouldn't it have been better to shoot 5 rounds fouling shots, then all 3 targets of one ammo then repeat with the other 2 types?

I ABSOULTELLY love the Aguila ammo and I have tried almost all the other 22LR ammo (except CCI which can be 3-5 times as expensive). The COPPER plating leaves absolutely NO lead build-up in my 8 shot Smith and Wesson 22LR revolver barrel rifling. EVERY other manufacture's ammo I have tried has left lead inside the barrel that was extremely hard for me to remove. NOT so with this Aguila 22LR ammo. In addition, I have shot thousands of rounds and maybe 1 failure to fire and that is it - one failure. On sale it cost .04 cents a round so I wait for that price and then I buy in bulk. I am 100% converted to this ammo from this manufacturer and will be a life long customer.

Great video, with clear concise subtitles. You sort of look like Tiger Woods, but then I guess your channel would be called poondogindustries,,,LOL.

lets test three low end plinking rounds.🤔

What utg scope is this?

Why didnt you use CCI MINI-MAG 40gr to make it fair?

Federal cci it’s for plinking. All ammo. For banchrest only european ammo, sk, eley, rws. Not all.

I would definitely use this for deer if ut was legal. I own a very special little 50 round box if Aguila Prime Semi Jacketed High Velocity Soft point 40 grains that I have not seen anywhere either before or after the 2020 ammo craze. 1,875 FPS. Definitely holding onto it for when i need it. Not squandering it on nonsense. That’s what the Winchester Value Pack is for. 😊

I don't use anything that aint super extra ULTRA.

You’re not testing the accuracy of the various bullets as much as you’re testing which is the most accurate in your specific rifle. Pick a different rifle, then another, and another and you’re very likely to get different results.

Still too much barrel movement and using a semiautomatic is not as accurate. Plus no cleaning between ammo types.

águila mexicana srs.

That Aguila stuff shoot better then CCI

Every gun likes different ammo . Find the one that works best in your gun ! Then stick with it !

The federal Automath that you used is not a equal level product to the CCI mini mags and aguila super extras , for christs sake the automatch comes in bulk packs where they are all just thrown in lose , not to mention it's also the cheapest lowest level of copper plated .22lr ammo that federal sells. If you want to do an actual real comparison that is fair all around you should absolutely be using either of the 4 different available weights of the federal Game Shok line of CP .22lr ammo , they make 31, 36 and 38 grain all theee being copper plated hollow points as well as a 40 grain copper plated round nose the are phenomenon ammunition in every single aspect and after shooting many many thousands of Federal Game Shok and CCI Mini Mags of various weights I've concluded withiut a doubt that the Federal Game shock in some areas is just equal but actually to a small extent actually better performing than even the Mini Mags, and hell they are a little cheaper too, you can get a 500 round brick (10 individually packaged 50 packs each in nice little organizer trays) pf any of the Game Shoks for on average $40-45 roughly where as the CCI given dont offer anything larger in quantity than a 300 pack of the mini mags whoch is mearly just 3 separate 100 round plastic trays of Mini mags packed inside of a super thin and flimsy cardboard box or package , the same 100 packs that you will regularly see much of the CCI ammo packaged and sold individually in, so ya get 200 rounds less but considerably more expensive than the federals with the 300 packs of CCI's selling for on average $35-39 , I dunno about you but given on all levels not only are the Federal Mini Mags not just equally as good as the CCI mini mags but as I said they are actually even a little bit better in some aspects so overall in my eyes simply a superior product compared to the overpriced CCI's. However do not get me wrong I buy the CCI mini mags pretty regularly , usually the 36 grain CPHP's , and love them as they are a phenomenal product that is nothing short of the line , however the Federal Game Shoks are simply a hair better in a couple areas based on my

This test should take out human error. You are all over the place with you set up. Wow you were all over the place with shot placement

I'll stick with the Mexican ammo.

I feel that your test is flawed, you did not match up all the same. All brands have 40 grain bullets with copper. So I watched it but am sure that I wasted my time.

Hollow points suck for accuracy brother. Same results I get as well.

Accuracy videos are completely USELESS. What's accurate in one gun will be inaccurate in another.
