Aguila 22LR high velocity ammunition delivers reliable, accurate performance for shooters who want to maximize their trigger time without breaking the bank. These 40-grain rounds are engineered for consistent velocity and predictable flight, making them a solid choice for target practice, plinking, and small-game hunting. Whether you're zeroing a new rifle, running drills at the range, or just enjoying an afternoon of shooting, Aguila's 22 LR ammo cycles smoothly through most semi-automatic and bolt-action .22 rifles, so you can focus on putting rounds downrange.
The copper-plated bullet construction supports both accuracy and longevity—cleaner than bare lead, it reduces fouling in your barrel and helps maintain consistent performance shot after shot. High velocity 22LR rounds like these generate the velocity needed for reliable expansion on small game and varmints while maintaining the inherent precision of the rimfire cartridge. At 40 grains, this is a standard weight that pairs well with most .22 LR barrels and platforms.
Aguila ammunition is manufactured to tight tolerances, so you get the grouping consistency you'd expect from a quality rimfire round. The 500-round and 2000-round pack options let you stock up for extended range sessions or keep a reliable supply on hand. If you shoot .22 LR regularly—and most of us do—high-velocity Aguila rounds are a dependable, economical way to keep your skills sharp.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best use for 22 LR high velocity ammunition?
High velocity 22 LR rounds work well for target shooting, plinking, small-game hunting, and varmint control. The increased velocity helps with reliable bullet expansion on game while maintaining the accuracy .22 rimfire is known for.
Will Aguila 22LR ammo cycle reliably in my semi-auto rifle?
Yes. Aguila's high velocity 22 LR rounds are designed for smooth cycling in semi-automatic .22 rifles, as well as bolt-action platforms. High velocity ammunition is generally more reliable for semi-auto function than standard-velocity loads.
What's included in the 500 and 2000-round packages?
You have the option to purchase either 500 rounds or 2000 rounds per order, depending on your needs and shooting schedule. Both are sold as factory-packaged ammunition ready to load and shoot.
How does the copper-plated bullet benefit my shooting?
Copper plating reduces lead fouling in your barrel compared to bare lead bullets, which means less cleaning downtime and more consistent accuracy over extended shooting sessions. It also supports the reliable, predictable performance you need for precise groupings.
