It shot well. After buying a brick to test with I bought a case, at the time it was $300. CCI Standard Velocity was around $230 then, six years ago maybe?

Anyhow, I bought the Match Rifle ammo and shot it in both rifles and pistols. The last price I saw was $500 or $550. I would have no qualms about buying and shooting it for anything.


A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work.

A shooter gave me a box for my 10-22 custom. It shot lights out. I bought a brick for $13.and it is still on the shelf. I gave the rifle with scope to a friend. I really need to give him the brock of ammo also.

I brought some Aquila had 70% misfires never again.

That was years ago hopefully their QC has improved.

But I well not be buying any to find out.

Doesn't sound like you need a lot.

I brought 10,000 rounds before the rush, just for practice, down to my last 2000.

Normally when it was readily available hundreds of rounds went down range on a weekly basis.

I am wondering when I am going to be able replace it.

I keep a running order with Killough Shooting Sports for rimfire ammo. If Dan is out, he puts me on the list and ships when he gets more. I did buy that particular brick some time ago to get the $13 price.

I bought 2 bricks of the Aguila match in black boxes and 2 bricks that came in blue boxes with some gimmicky printing. At the time, I was shooting in a prone league; 50 yards, 50 meters & 100 yards. The Aguila stuff scored as well as the Wolf or Wolf Match Extra, not quite as well as Eley Club Extra. If the price was right, I would buy more.

Last year I opened my 4th 5,000 round case of Aquila Standard Velocity ammo. I shot it in NRA Bullseye competition and practice. Bought several cases for our pistol club and Shriners every year.

Accuracy was equivalent to CCI Green Tag.

I was buying direct from the importer who was located in Helotes, TX. Then they decided you had to be an Aquila dealer and I would be in conflict with previous established dealers.

at 50ft who can tell, at 100 yds grouped better than Fed 711b or T22.
