Aguila is best 22 cal ammo you can get anywhere, bar none...
I buy Aguila 22 cal ammo not because it’s cheap(it’s not), but because it is the best you can get.
It’s common out of a 500 round brick to have zero FTF...

Personally, I avoid Aguila. The last box of Aguila .22 that I purchased contained a cartridge that looked like it had been twisted with pliers. It was so deformed, I was surprised the priming compound hadn't ignited. About the same time (one of the Obama ammunition panics) I found a steel-cased .223 cartridge in a box from the former USSR, with the primer smashed into the primer pocket sideways. Each might have been a "one in a million" failure of quality control, but I've never seen anything similar in a box of American-made ammunition. So, I inspect all ammunition before use (common sense!), and mostly avoid foreign brands (although I have one rifle that favors Norma Jaktmatch ;^)...

Don’t think I’ve ever bought Aguila. But I’ve bought lots of foreign made ammo that was good quality. Armscor and Privi Partisan come to mind. I usually buy federal premium for match grade Ammo, but I took a chance on PP for some match grade 250 gr .338 Lapua and it shoots .75 MOA out of the box. Big savings, like 2.50 a round vs 6.00 per round.

Well, you can avoid ‘foreign’ brands Aguila 22 cal , but most serious shooters don’t because suppliers can’t keep it on their shelves.
