What I’ve read is that it’s good but dirty.

I've learned that firearms (especially rimfires) often shoot better with one factory load, as compared to others. With that in mind, I will try as many different loads as possible, whenever I buy a new rimfire. Once you identify a preferred load, you can (& should ;^) stock up on it.
A few years back, I bought a box of Aguila .22 long rifle, along with a selection of other brands, to try out in a new rifle. I don't remember how the Aguila shot (or if I even fired any), because one of the 50 cartridges in the box looked like it had been grabbed with pliers & twisted out of shape. Kind of made me wonder about Aguila's quality control (was there any propellent in the cases, or primer compound?). Hopefully their QC has improved since then...

Marktwain thanks for posting this. Does that mean my local Walmart will finally have .22 ammo in stock?

One of the positive surprises of the great ammo and gun shortage of the Obama years was the emergence of many new gun and ammo manufactures. Most started small but many are growing rapidly. A wonderful silver lining.

The Aquila .22 cartridge is blistering hot, though dirty. Personally, I prefer the CCI Stinger, which is a vicious little cartridge.

Been shooting their Colibri (primer only) rounds for years. Great backyard fun! Virtually no noise, but yes, they are dirty.
Guns are not like the “10,000 mile oil change” in your car; they’ve gotta be cleaned - regularly.

I have shot the 9mm. No issues and a decent price.

I do NRA Bullseye target shooting every summer. I use CCI Standard Velocity .22 ammo only. I’ve tried other .22 target brands but find CCI the best for reliability and accuracy.

If you have one of those oddball Remington rimfires from the '70s, Aguila is the only game in town...

I was doing backflips when I saw the 17Mach2 back on the shelf. I was worried my CZ rifle would be orphaned. I have a G2 Contender barrel for it too. My wife's 17M2 knockoff of the Ruger 10/22 was coverted back to .22LR when the 17M2 dried up.
