I have shot quite a bit of the super extra in the yellow box it is about 1140 fps. Its good ammo for rifle silhouette.

There is some really good Eley primed Aguilla 22LR ammo they once made.
There is some really stinky smelling Aguilla 22LR ammo.
Then there is all the rest, which is just Aguilla 22LR ammo.

The Aquila rifle match ammo shoots extremely well to 200 yds and beyond. It's my preferred brand for the 22 bpcr sillouette and long range bpcr buffalo gong match side matches.
But like all things 22 rimfire, your rifle may or may not care for it as 22's can be somewhat picky about what they'll shoot well and what they won't.

Be careful as there are many different types of Aguilla ammo. Some are powered only by the priming compound and are very slow and are reccomended for handguns only as they might get stuck in the barrel of a rifle. That is what they warned of so I tried it and one did not exit the rifle barrel.

The primer only stuff is called collibri or super collibri and has smaller bullets and cases (22 LONG) than regular .22lr ammo.

These just arrived at my door. They are supposed to be lead, round nose, 1080fps. I'll use them for plinking and for the grandkids.

They stink due to the priming compound *(eley primed). Never had a misfire and better than a lot of American .22 ammo. The ammo should be cheaper as it is made in Mx and there is no duty due to NAFTA so I guess Remington is making a killing on us.
better Remington than Winchester and their inconsistent rim thickness issues ect. I can load my revolver with aguila CCI Remington ect and spin the cylinder freely and shoot it with no issues. Winchester I either cant get the round in the cylinder at all or if I can I cant get the cylinder to spin freely because of the case and rim inconsistencies. not a big fan of Winchester rimfire

plodder,
You know, of course, you're one of those guys they talk about on the news that has "an arsenal with several thousands of rounds of ammunition".....

There are WAY too many types of Aguila .22lr ammunition to make a blanket statement.
Everything from primer-only up to .22wmr challenging loads that could beat up the action of some guns to .22short cases loaded with a super-long heavy bullet.
Specialty ammo, in other words.
LOTS of variations:
http://www.aguilaammo.com/rimfire.html
I'm fairly sure I've used all of these:
.22 L.R. Super Colibri CB
.22 L.R. Super Maximum CC
.22 L.R. Interceptor CC
.22 L.R. Sniper Subsonic SSS
.22 L.R. Match Pistol
I've been happy with all the Aguila loads I've used, but I'm not a benchrest shooter.
If I came across Aguila .22lr ammo in a load I might have a use for, and for a reasonable price, I'd buy it. I'd buy a LOT of it. With the current drought on .22lr ammo, I'd buy all I could, stuff it in ammo cans and make a throne out of the ammo cans. I might even shoot some of it.

Aguila centerfire is pretty decent plinking ammo, too, for that matter.
I've been happy with it in .30carbine, 9x19, 9x17, and .45acp. Match ammo it is not, but for general recreational shooting, it does fine.
The Mrs tested a bunch of HP in her .380 and knowing there is a cheap HP load that works in that gun is nice. I'd guess that she has the little thing loaded with those right now, but that's her department.

Four, five years ago when there was a shortage of .30 Carbine ammo, DCM (CMP) was selling Aguila Carbine ammo.
Bought some, and it worked fine. Seemed funny at the time they were selling Mexican ammo, but there was nothing else around.

From a review I did several years ago when I was trying various .22LR brands in my then new S&W M&P 15-22.....
I'll also comment that the most expensive ammo, the Aguila Hyper Velocity 30 grain rounds absolutely sucked in the accuracy department. On the same target as shown in the previous photo, the hyper velocity rounds patterned all over the 10 ring, literally, with a couple slipping out into the 9 ring. It looks like I had shot it with .22 cal buckshot from a .410 shotgun.

I've used the cheaper of the two Aguila lots of .22LR SV ammo they sell through CMP in Bullseye competition for the last several years. It feeds and functions flawlessly through my Walther GSP and is every bit as accurate as CCI SV, based on moderately extensive testing from the bench.

I bought a brick of the sub-sonic (only 22lr available) It does not work in my wife's mosquito. Works great in the 10 22. It is a little dirty but with a regular cleaning it is fine.

I shoot the superhyperextra velocity stuff. Not the most precise and it is dirty, but I love shooting it.

I used some of the Aguilla .22lr ammo and it worked very well, a little dirty compared to some others but shot well.

The subsonic stuff is really pretty quiet, in case you have a varmint in your backyard, don't you know...
I've shot a good bit of Super Max, Interceptor, Super Colibri, Rifle Match, and Pistol Match and have been satisfied with all of them. It compares well with the equivalent CCI rounds for a better price. Of course, it used to be an even better bargain before .22 prices increased so much.
The Super Colibri is excellent for dispatching rogue critters discretely. Both the Interceptor and Super Max offer class leading velocity with moderate accuracy, and the Match rounds offer good accuracy for the money.
Back before .22 became so scarce, Aguila was an excellent bargain, and even though the shortage has reduced the price advantage that the brand once offered, it is still my go-to brand of .22 LR ammo. It fires reliably in everything I own.
Note: Colibri and Super Colibri are powered by the primer only; there is no powder in either so they shouldn't be fired in rifle length barrels, and neither will cycle a pistol action so a pistol loaded with them basically becomes a repeater that must be manually cycled.
