Which cartridge is a better peformer. The Stinger is rated at 1,640 fps and the Aguila HP is rated at 1,750 fps. Stinger has a nice nickel case and Aguilar has the regular brass casings.
I did try all kinds of .22LR including the Stinger HP and the Aguila HP and on both shot fine on a Browning Buckmarc and S & W 617. I did find out that the Buck Marc can outshoot the 617 as it much more accurate with all different types of ammo. The 617 is not.I just shot last weekend with several different types of 22lr ammo including stingers, mini mags, winchester, federal, etc... I used my Ruger 10/22 and my daughters Marlin model 60 and what I found really surprised me. I always thought it was a bunch of hype over what type of ammo - until I tried it for myself.
In my Ruger 10/22 I usually shot bulk federals but when I tested the winchester super x my groups got about 3" tighter at 50 yards (10 shot groups) - then when I switched to cci mini-mags my groups went down to just over 1" at 50 yards, when I tried the stingers the groups spread out to around 2"-2.5". So I am now a firm believer that rifles like certain ammos - I will use only CCI mini-mags in my ruger from now on.
My daughters Marlin though wasn't so picky it shot the super-x, mini mag, and stingers all equally as well - just a matter of where to put the sights for which ever ammo. So I stuck with mini-mags for that rifle just because then I have all the same interchangeable ammo.
So the best advice I can give it try different brands out and see for yourself - the difference will probably show itself on the paper.
Good luck and good shooting!
Which rounds have you found to be more accurate? The .40 grain .22 LR's? The Aguila Interceptor, CCI Velocitor?I have found the CCI Stinger to be more accurate, but I have not shot much of the Aquila hyper velocity stuff. I have only shot both in rifles. The hyper velocity 22 ammo is generally of average accuracy which means about 0.75-1" groups commonly at 50 yds.
