This has probably been covered before . However I bought some of this a couple of years ago thinking it might be a excellent bullet to knock down .22 Steel Rams in Silhouette Shooting. I did not find any of my 22 rimfires that would shoot the 60 grain bullet well. Some even tumbled the bullet at 25 yards. I tried also to use a 1-9 twist Savage barrel to see if the faster twist rate might make them fly well. Physics suggests the reason being that a regular 22lr barrel has not got a fast enough twist rate. The centerfire 1-9 twist Savage barrel was not tight enough to support the bullet. I gave it a try anyway. I later ordered a 1-12 twist rimfire barrel which proved to be an excellent answer to accuracy and stability.
Now for the odd part---I have tried these 60 grain Aquila SSS in a number of single shot Cooeys and they all shot them very well. Not like a target 22 but within the limits imposed by trigger weight and pull I was impressed.
So just to pass it along if you have any of this Aquilla 22 SSS ammo and an older Cooey rifle,,give it a try . You will probably be pleasantly surprised.
