Anyone have experience with Aguila Interceptors? Was thinking I might try some as I enjoy hyper-velocity .22LR rounds. Always neat to see how much more power can be wrung out of this calibre.

I've looked at all the information I can find on YouTube and the rest of the internet. There wasn't much, but what I saw was pretty impressive.

How was the accuracy and consistency in your guns?

Thanks
 
I've come to learn that 22LR Aguila, S&B, Winchester, Remington, "Browning" and "Hornady" branded ammos are basically not worth buying if I'm chasing anything that resembles accuracy. And I phrase it that way because I mostly don't chase it myself...but do want to know it shoots well in my rifles so I test every ammo type with anything new I'm using. See what it can/can't do in my hands...then dry dock it if I'm not seeing anything promising. None of those have been worth taking more than 10 shots with, but your guns may differ.

With one exception over the last 30 or so years of shooting 22LR allot....I can say that I haven't found high velocity ammo types to shoot accurately compared to SS. "accuracy" is subjective, but for me... the benchmark is that I want the holes touching on paper @ 50 yards consistently if I do my part, and none of those ammo types mentioned can do it with my gear.

Having said that, last week I bought a box of 100 CCI Mini Mag Segmented because it's fast/explosive and I haven't tried that exact one. Do I think it'll be a winner? Not really-but worth a go...like your Aguila is!

I’ve had good results with the Aguila interceptor out of a 16” Tikka T1X. I find the accuracy very similar to CCI velocitors. I’m not a benchrest shooter and both will consistently do 1/2” at 50 m with my gun and scope (Leupold 2-7x). The Aguila Supermax hyper velocity 30gr (claimed 1700fps) by comparison was very inconsistent and produced 1 to 2” groups, sometimes worse.

No Interceptor experience, but my Bergara B14 carbon rifled action loves the Aguila Target Competition

Thx for that tidbit of info. The Bergara B14 is one of the options I have been looking at for plinking. With that ammo what's it like at 100 yards?

Sorry for the thread hijack

If your in a prarie province, the CCI segmented are incredibly fun for gophers, almost as fun as 17hmr is on them. I've never grouped them from my MTR, but have regular mini mags, nothing special at a .670 average, I would think they would be in the same range, but Just can't emphasize enough how effective they are on small critters.

...well...there is only one reason I explore fast/frangible 22LR ammo...and the answer is understanding what my gopher options are. Almost every gopher I've shot with a 22=CCI Blazer solids run through a Waltz die. Fast ammo+huge hollow point=gophers go down hard.

Considering buying my spring/2025 ammo before Christmas this year. :)
