I bought a case of Super Colbri a few years ago. (It was only $13 a brick!!) We shoot it in the back yard at the grandkid's birthday party. Super Colbri will exit a rifle barrel. The regular does not.

It is very quiet. Less noise than an airgun. In a revolver, it is much louder.

Accuracy is excellent.

I also bought their Interceptor ammo. They tout it as the highest velocity 40 grn ammo. I did Chrony it and it was fast. They make very good ammo.

Here is a video, comparing Intereceptor to CCI Velocitor. It supports the advertising that the Interceptor is faster.

Back to a half-baked search for this stuff. Anybody know of any local supply for this? Reading this ^ makes me wonder if the Super Colibri might be a better choice. Would love a few boxes to try.

My LGS suggested that their distributor was requiring them to put a minimum order in, and with me being one of the only guys asking for the Aguila stuff... lol Anyhow, not super eager to commit to a brick unless it shoots half decently from my guns.
 
Bullseye in London had a bunch of bricks of the Colibri. I use them in my savage mark 2. Shoots great. Just have to Ark them in. My savage 3b shoots them very well as well. It has a long barrel. At least 24 or 26". They're very quiet and Don't usually stay in a 2"x4" at across basement distances but it knocks off crows and flattened a caged raccoon with a head shot. It's around $7-8 a box. Once I get back to work for a bit ill buy another brick. It's great for indoor shooting

Hey guys~I was flipping through the latest issue of CALIBRE magazine and on page 11 there is an ad for Aguila. Pictured is a stunted-looking .22LR round with a conical bullet called ".22LR COLIBR" 20gr. bullet, velocity of 420fps. I'd love to try some of this stuff~anybody here ever used it? Any ideas on where to get it? A dealer in Ontario would be ideal.

Before anyone recommends it...yes..I've tried CCI CB Longs, CCI "Quiet-22"...and the like. Very effective for what I use it for, and I have plenty of it for now. I wasn't aware that there was anything slower out there, but I'm intrigued by this.

On the other end of the spectrum, they also have an HV round listed called a ".22LR INTERCEPTOR" 40gr., 1470 fps. I'd be curious to try it, though I probably wouldn't commit to more than a box or two until I knew how it shot.

Has anyone here tried the "COLIBR?"

Firearms Outlet Centre in Ajax, ON had a bunch about a month ago when I was there last. Call them to check. They had the interceptor and another standard velocity version of Aguila as well.
