Aguila Super Maximum 22 LR 30-Grain Hyper Velocity Plated Lead Hollow Point Ammunition

Aguila Super Maximum 22 LR ammunition delivers genuine velocity that translates to reliable performance on small game, varmints, and target shooting. This hyper velocity 22 rimfire load generates 1700 feet per second at the muzzle—among the fastest options available—and pairs that velocity with a 30-grain hollow point bullet designed for consistent expansion and clean, humane kills. The plated lead construction supports reliable feeding and extraction across most modern 22 rifles and handguns, while the hollow point profile promotes rapid energy transfer on impact.

Hunters and varmint shooters who demand flat trajectories and fast bullet performance in a compact rimfire load find real value here. The combination of velocity and bullet design gives you better hit probability at intermediate ranges and more decisive terminal performance than standard velocity loads. At 1700 fps, this round maintains energy downrange—it still carries 108 foot-pounds at 100 yards—making it a genuine alternative to slower loads when accuracy and lethality matter.

Aguila Super Maximum comes in bulk 5000-round cases (packaged in 50-round boxes), so whether you're a frequent shooter stocking up or a small-game hunter who burns through rimfire ammo, you can buy in volume without breaking your routine. The ammunition is designed to feed and cycle cleanly in quality firearms, though as with all ammunition, you should always test in your specific gun before committing to a bulk purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

What guns will Aguila Super Maximum 22 LR ammo work in?

This is standard 22 LR ammunition and will chamber in any 22 LR rifle or handgun. The plated lead hollow point design is optimized for reliable feeding and extraction in most modern rimfire firearms, though as always, you should test any new ammunition in your specific gun before committing to bulk purchases.

Is this ammo good for hunting small game and varmints?

Yes. The 30-grain hollow point bullet and 1700 fps muzzle velocity make this round suitable for rabbits, squirrels, woodchucks, and other small game and varmints where quick, humane kills are the goal. The velocity and bullet expansion design support better performance at intermediate ranges than standard velocity 22 loads.

How much energy does this ammunition retain at distance?

At 100 yards, Aguila Super Maximum delivers 108 foot-pounds of energy, down from 195 foot-pounds at the muzzle. This retained energy at distance is a meaningful advantage over slower 22 LR loads and supports more reliable performance on target at typical small-game hunting ranges.

What does "plated lead" bullet mean?

Plated lead refers to a lead core with a thin copper plating. This construction supports smooth feeding and reliable extraction while keeping the round affordable and effective for high-volume shooting and hunting applications.
