I’ve fired a few hundred rounds of it smacking steel targets. Worked well enough for what I was using it for.
No clue as to its consistency or potential for precision.

I bought a fair bit, very nicely packed in a nice box, plastic sealed with desiccant pack. Havent shot any. Let us know how it shoots....

I have shot some of the 62 gr FMJs. It is good plinking ammo. It's nice that you can buy it in 50 round boxes. Fairly affordable. Never really shot it for accuracy beyond hitting a target or plate.

I've used it as well as some of there other ammo. It always performed well for me.
I'm just hoping for slightly better accuracy than Federal.
Looked at it in 62gr, keep looking & walked on. Hard to pass in 50 round box for $6/20 +- for blasting.
And how is the brass for reloading? Is the primer hole punched straight?
Also for my personal info is this Co. pronounced a-gwee'-la or, a-ghee'-la, whereas this writers ( ' ) is emphasis on that syllable

It shot well for me in both my AR and my m11 savage. Shot 6 " at 300 iny AR with buis and just overoa in my savage.
Iirc it's Spanish for eagle. The cases seemed fairly well cut I reloaded 100 pieces of brass without issue. And shot well as reloads.
I'm going to try it in my 1-12 and 1-9 twist. Hopefully one of them likes it.

My AR is a 1:7 twist and the savage is 1:9 it should work well with one of yours.
That was a 20 shot group fired over about 5 minutes.
I have had better luck getting fmj's to group in the 1-12 gun.
I tried it in my H&R. It loves the stuff. Now to burn up 300 rounds in a single shot.

I bought 55 grain FMJ . for my Mini 14. very clean ammo. good value imo

Only thing I shoot from my back porch are air rifles. And mostly wood chuck's and squirrel. I do target shoot with my grandson out back
I built a shooting bench into the railing. It elevates me enough to shoot over the hay field except for a few weeks before mowing.
During that time, I have steel set up at 130 yards for my handgun and cast bullet guns.

I’ve bought and shot a lot of Fiocchi in the 50 round boxes, no Aguila .223 yet.
The Aguila 22 LR works well (funky smell when shot, though), as does their .22 Mag and center fire 9mm and .45. The price isn’t bad for brass plinking ammo

Stay safe.

Their standard velocity 22 is pretty good in my 22's.I’ve bought and shot a lot of Fiocchi in the 50 round boxes, no Aguila .223 yet.

I just wish they were Hollow points.

maybe likes firearms a little bit…
In my experience, hollow point 22 worked much better for shooting coons out of trees. Because of this if I'm hunting, I prefer them. Target shooting gets whatever shoots well.Color me green!
Why?
Not that I don’t like hollow points.
I thought this deserved an update. I made some changes to my AR and it now shots this ammo into roughly 2". It's gusting in the low 20s with a steady wind of about 10, so I'm happy with it.
Now I can start stocking up on it.
