Aguila Interceptor 22 LR 40 Grain Plated Lead Hollow Point Ammunition - High Velocity Precision Rounds for Target & Hunting

The Aguila Interceptor 22 LR is a high-velocity rimfire cartridge built for shooters who demand reliable performance on target and in the field. This 40-grain plated lead hollow point round leaves the muzzle at 1470 feet per second—fast enough to deliver consistent expansion on small game and varmints while maintaining accuracy at distance. Aguila's plated bullet construction keeps velocities consistent and barrel fouling minimal, so you spend less time cleaning and more time shooting.

Whether you're training at the range, competing in rimfire matches, or hunting small game like rabbits and squirrels, the Interceptor delivers the speed and impact you'd expect from a dedicated hunting load. The hollow point design promotes rapid energy transfer, making it an efficient choice for ethical harvests. At 1470 fps, it carries 195 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle and still retains 116 foot-pounds at 100 yards—figures that matter when precision matters.

Aguila ammunition is made in Mexico and trusted by shooters across North America for quality and value. The Interceptor line earns its reputation through consistent manufacturing and field-proven performance. Sold in bulk cases of 5000 rounds (50-round boxes), it's built for serious shooters and high-volume training.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Aguila Interceptor 22 LR best used for?

The Interceptor's hollow point design and high velocity make it well-suited for small game hunting (rabbits, squirrels, varmints) and precision target shooting. The 40-grain plated bullet is also a reliable choice for rimfire competition.

How does plated ammunition differ from standard lead rounds?

Plated ammunition has a copper or brass coating applied to the lead bullet. This reduces fouling in your barrel, improves consistency between shots, and extends barrel life—benefits that add up when you're shooting high volume.

What kind of energy does this load deliver at distance?

The Interceptor leaves the muzzle at 1470 fps with 195 foot-pounds of energy. At 100 yards, velocity drops to 1056 fps and energy to 116 foot-pounds—still enough for reliable small game performance within typical hunting ranges.

Does this ammunition come in bulk?

Yes. Aguila Interceptor is sold in cases of 5000 rounds, packaged in boxes of 50. This bulk format is ideal for range training, high-volume shooting, and hunters who go through ammunition regularly.
