Interesting report thanks Fenring.
By the looks of that accuracy, possibly an indicator the 5mm rem revival won’t be happening thanks to Aguila. those owners would be disappointed.

Re: Quick test of the Aguila 60gr .22LR subsonic
I haven't tried their normal weight .22 ammo and won't bother probably, as it's no cheaper than my regular CCI and S+-B stuff that performs fine.
Re: Quick test of the Aguila 60gr .22LR subsonic
I have found the CCI subs are a pretty good replacement for the old Winchester subs I used to run too. Probably more accurate if anything. Haven’t tried the S&B though.
Just picked up a CZ 515 so will need to find out which ammo suits it.

I know I’m a broken record with this but my 22s just love SKs.
Mind you I have a brick of Eley to test.

I have a 1938 vintage Winchester Mod 61, just loves SK Long Range Match. Works pretty well on wallaby with night vision. They are solids, but seem to stay in the target.

Re: Quick test of the Aguila 60gr .22LR subsonic
I’m mostly using SKs at the range but have used them on bunnies.
SK magazine (aka can of beans)
SK Plus
And occasionally SK HV.
Magazine and Plus have a similar POI (albeit 4 clicks right @ 50m for the Mag)
Being solid round nose they feed well in the Henry, work fine in the sportco single shot, and are deadly accurate in my Winchester/ToZ.
Still I like to try other brands and types….when Covid isnt screwing with my ability to go shooting.

Had to question this, initially. Tapatalk showed a reduced sized image without any holes then I opened the pic full size
Good work.

G'day all,
in my Anschutz SK Subsonic HP at the best followed by E.ey Subsonic HP and RWS Subsonic HP
Off a Harris bipod at 50paces, SK better than 0.3", Eley about 0.3" and RWS about 0.375" for 5 shots
Its not really fussy so its sometimes best to try others.
FYI I helped a mate set up his CZ 22LR and the SK subbies and I shot a sub .2" group off a bipod and thought they might be worth a go in my rifle. they worked great but are now unavailble in Aus unless they start making them again.
Cheerio Ned
