Fiocchi=Aguila???
I just got a half brick of Fiocchi .22 LR in from Natchez SS. It was on sale, so I thought I'd give it a try. Opened it up and the box says "Made in Mexico for Fiocchi". The rounds are packaged in the same tray as Aguila. Do you guys think this is the same stuff?

I have some PMC .22LR that I wish I didn't purchase after finding it was made in Mexico. Same black tray as the ones in your photo. Turned all my 22 rifles and pistols into jam-o-matics. Hope your Fiocchi is better.

I haven't shot it yet. It arrived just today. I have had no significant trouble from the Aguila...I much prefer CCI mini mag, but its a bit pricey for .22 ammo.

I have shot a bunch of Aguila from the primer only, the primer only plus, thru subsonic and hypersonic, always had good luck with it.

Aguila hasn't given me any issues but I haven't bought any of that particular style.
