Aguila Interceptor .22 LR 40-Grain Plated Lead Round Nose Ammunition - High Velocity Precision Rounds

The Aguila Interceptor .22 LR high velocity ammunition delivers the speed and reliability that rimfire shooters expect for hunting and target work. These 40-grain plated lead round nose rounds travel at 1,470 feet per second—making them among the fastest offerings in the .22 LR category—and are built to perform consistently across a wide range of .22 rifles and handguns. Whether you're working small game, plinking at the range, or training with a rimfire platform, the Interceptor rounds provide the velocity and accuracy you need without the cost of centerfire alternatives.

Aguila has engineered these rounds around a copper-plated solid point design that balances expansion and penetration for small-game hunting while maintaining the precision needed for target shooting. The 40-grain projectile is a proven weight class for .22 LR, offering a sweet spot between energy and trajectory that works well in both rifles and handguns. With 50 rounds per box, you get enough ammunition to sight in, practice, or conduct a solid hunting trip without breaking the bank.

Rimfire ammunition quality varies wildly, but Aguila has built a solid reputation for consistency and reliability in the .22 LR space. The Interceptor line is no exception—rounds feed smoothly, ignition is dependable, and velocity is uniform shot to shot. If you shoot .22 LR regularly and want ammunition that won't slow you down or let you down, these high-velocity rounds are worth a serious look.
