I've tried the CCI Velocitor and Winchester Hyper Speed in pistols and both have their pros and cons with the Velocitors being more accurate and reliable, but the Winchester is cheaper and faster. One I have never shot before is the Aguila Interceptor as in the past I viewed the solid bullet as a waste, while the hollow point I questioned its expansion capability. Over time I concluded that if we're just talking about handguns, a solid bullet is the superior option for better penetration for .22, so finally a few weeks ago I ordered a couple boxes of this rather pricey .22 LR to see where it stacks up along with the others.
I was not prepared for the results. From the 3 inch Ruger LCRx:
Low- 1131
High- 1198
Avg- 1162
Std Dev- 23
A few months back I tested CCI Velocitor in the same revolver and got the following:
Low- 1020
High- 1085
Avg- 1059
Std Dev- 21
The Aguila Interceptor was over 100 fps faster with the same projectile weight as the CCI Velocitor! 1162 fps is well into .22 Magnum territory.
Gentlemen, I think I found a new carry ammo for .22 LR...
