Aguila .22 SS

**powerkicker** · 08-21-2003, 04:55 PM

How does the heavy 60 gn.(I think) aguila subsonic round perform on pests and varmints? Does it function reliably in semi-auto's? Thanks

Ive had good luck with the Aguila Subsonic ammo, although im not shooting pests, its pretty accurate, and cycles my semi-auto Marlin .22.

Once 'reformed' with Paco Kelly's Acu'rzr/Nastinose tool, the Aguila SSS shoots straight without key-holeing and reliably in both my semi-autos, a Walther P22 and a Win M63.

I have not used it in live targets.

The SSS needs it own sighting-in, as it shoots an inch or more lower than standard 40grainers.

It worked well in my 10/22 at 25 yards. Very accurate at this range. Supposedly starts to lose some after 50 yds. Case came out still flaming and trailing smoke!

It is 1-9 to be precise, but you may save yourself the expense of a purchasing a new bbl, or an SSS-dedicated rimfire, by simply modifying/reforming a couple of SSS boxes with Paco's acu'rzr tool and enjoy yourself shooting the 60grainers in your standard rimfires without tumbling/keyholeing issues, normally associated with the Aguila SSS's longer and heavier projectile.

Welcome to the boards... What does the Paco's acu'rzr tool actually do to the bullet

Crete · 09-08-2003, 11:45 AM

Jericho,

Thanks.

Paco's tool resizes the nominal .222 rimfire projectile to either .223 or .224 in dia., or even .225. It may not sound/look much but helps cheaper LR ammo to shoot better than their price tag suggests.

I am using Paco's original acu'rzr/nastinose for about a year now and I am very pleased with the results. I have reformed/resized everything from CB Caps to Shorts and Longs. Most of my rimfires prefer $2.00-a-box LR ammo resized with the #4 (.224 dia.) end of the die., which they shoot like $8.00-a-box fodder (or more pricey).

EDITED because I didn't read all the posts...

The Paco Kelly thing may be worthy of it's own thread in the Rimfire Discussion Forum....and now it has one!
