Aquila. 22 is one of the most dependable brands for small semi-auto .22 pocket piece pistols.

Big deal. Making 22 ammunition is not rocket science. The only reason it's made in Mehico is so the company owners can pocket more cash. Profits regardless of consequences. Eff them.

Thanx ... I never knew

One can Never have enough .22 Ammo.

Hi.

One can Never have enough .22 Ammo.

One can Never have enough Ammo.

That’s what my DI said to me frequently.

5.56mm

I think it’s funny they call AK ammo (7.62 x 39) a high velocity round heh.

[Secret Agent Man]

i know :)

Aquila. 22 is one of the most dependable brands for small semi-auto .22 pocket piece pistols. It cycles well without jamming . It works way better in small pistols that the .22 hot rounds that .22 rifles take. So, if it starts turning up , stock up .

A few years back, I bought some brand new Aguila .22 LR at a gun store. When I was inspecting the rounds before use (something that's always a good idea), I found one .22 round that looked like someone had used a couple pair of vice grips to 'twist' the case. I've seen some weird rounds before (including a Russian steel-case 5.56 round with the primer seated sideways ;^), but I've never seen a 'twisted' cartridge case like that, before or since. The QC guys at the ammo plant must've been asleep that day...

That's in comparison to what they think you should be allowed to own (a sling shot & a pocket full of dog kibble)...

Aguila makes great ammo.

“I think it’s funny they call AK ammo (7.62 x 39) a high velocity round heh.”

Any .30 caliber rifle firing a bullet at around 2000 fps is definitely high velocity and is very decisive.

[LeoWindhorse]

My point is the powder load in the regular Aquilla .22 is right for small semis ,which can tend to jam on the hot loads

Check the drivers’ bank accounts.

I recall reading that Aguila had licensed its priming formula/process from Eley, a company highly regarded for match-grade ammo.

[Bulwyf]

You make a good point. It’s what is relative heh.

[Bulwyf]

300 Norma I would classify there. Russian 7.62 is more like a carbine to me. I was never impressed with their power.

They used to shoot at me quite a bit with those things, whole different ballgame when a 7.62x51 is used.

Pay no attention to the tractor trailers in my driveway.

"btw where can one easily get .380? for use as barter. asking for a friend who prefers to stay off the grid."

Go to ammoseek.com. It is a browser for ammo. Prices are still high, but are coming down.

[Big Red Badger]

They have a .22
Called “SSS”
with a 65 grain
Projectile.
.
I’d like to try some.
