Aguila .22lr HP's Clay Test - Super Extra - Interceptor - Super Maximum

Published on August 19, 2020
Duration: 6:35

This video demonstrates a clay test using various Aguila .22LR ammunition types: Super Extra Hollow Point, Interceptor, and Super Maximum. The instructor aims to compare their performance on clay targets, noting the Super Extra is comparable to a Mini Mag, the Interceptor is a hyper-velocity 40-grain hollow point, and the Super Maximum is a lightweight, hyper-velocity 30-grain hollow point similar to Stingers. Due to issues with the clay material and camera recording, the test is not fully conclusive but provides visual insights into the ammunition's impact.

Quick Summary

The Aguila Super Extra Hollow Point is a standard high-velocity .22LR round comparable to CCI Mini Mags. The Interceptor is a hyper-velocity 40-grain hollow point, and the Super Maximum is a lightweight 30-grain hyper-velocity hollow point. Testing on clay targets showed the Interceptor splitting the target and the Super Maximum leaving visible lead residue.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Aguila .22LR ammunition types were tested on clay targets?

The video tested three types of Aguila .22LR ammunition: the Super Extra Hollow Point, which is a standard high-velocity hollow point; the Interceptor, a hyper-velocity 40-grain hollow point; and the Super Maximum, a super high-velocity 30-grain hollow point.

How did the Aguila Interceptor .22LR perform on the clay target?

The Aguila Interceptor .22LR ammunition, a hyper-velocity 40-grain hollow point, was observed to split the clay target in half, indicating significant impact force.

What are the characteristics of the Aguila Super Maximum .22LR ammunition?

The Aguila Super Maximum .22LR is a super high-velocity, lightweight 30-grain hollow point bullet. It is comparable to CCI Stingers but features a lighter projectile.

Why was the original planned ammunition test not conducted?

The instructor could not perform the originally planned test comparing CCI Small Game Bullet (SGB) with a standard hollow point because they were out of the SGB ammunition, and current availability made it difficult to replace.
