I purchased some of these about a year ago and have shot them in my Ruger 77/22. They are very quiet, but I have not used them on any animals to tell you how well their terminal effects are. They were also pretty accurate out to 40 yards in my gun. This is well beyond any distance I would use them. Dispatching cats or other varmints in the back yard will be 20 yards or less.

Aguila's plant is outside Mexico City, Mexico. These rounds are pretty common, but you have to get to a real ammo dealer. Aquila also makes a round that uses just the primer with no powder to shoot a 20 grain bullet (if I remember the weight correctly). Aguila uses what is called the Eley process of priming, which is by far the best and most energetic rimfire primer. Yes, the same Eley that makes the target .22 rimfire stuff. They have a patented priming process that is the cats meow for rimfire.
 
Try the Rws subsonic ammo. A buddy of mine has a lothar hitler youth 22 that can literally put one in the same hole every time at 50 yards. that aguila smells weird cause of the primer material. All of theyre ammo smells like that. Are you sure about comparing it to a 22 wmr? Ballistic tables put them at 93 ft/lbs of energy at the muzzle. The weakest 22 wmr round is 169 ft/lbs at the muzzle with most of them being around 300 ft/lbs at muzzle. I think that you are denting the targets due to lack of velocity and maybe the bullet is staying together and putting more mass in a bigger area. I dont know, tough call on that one. But the reason it is quiet is because the round doesnt go super sonic. Hence it is slow and weak. Great stuff for small pests but it is no powerhouse like the 22 wmr or even regular 22lr. Later
 
The artical I just read inspecial weapons for police and military give the following facts:
712fps...form 6inch barrel
moa at 100yards
capable of one shot kills on deer out to 110yards

penetration of 6-7"on deer an average

24inches of penitration at200metersin NATO-SPEC
ordnance gelatin

used by US.drug inforsment and animal control

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? sounds good to me /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
ps I will try to croney some and do the conversion for ft/lb/e and get back to you ok /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
Dude, there is no way that stuff is true. maybe point blank shot to the head for a deer. My pellet rifle shoots a 17 gr projectile at 750 ft/sec for like 12 ft/lbs triple that (for roughly 60 grain pellet) and thats like 36 ft/lbs? Think of the arc. You would have to aim like 10 feet high to get that bullet to impact at 110 yards if it even got that far. Try to kill a fox at 50 yards with that stuff and tell me you think it will kill a deer. I'll post abut using 22 lr sss for fox hunting and see what opinion that gets. Just to show you that article is pretty far fetched. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Just for grins!
 
Dude I did not make this stuff up,I would highly
dought the testimonels of NATO testing?? but like I said I have not played with it yet and I will show my test results for all to see and come
up with there own conclusions fair enough??

(I did not condone the use of this ammo for deer ) I just told you that it (is)used for them and does kill them out to 110yards (acording to Al Paulson)in his artical explaining anew ammo and gun developed to fill a government requirement for a more accurate and and coast effective round for drug raids and animal control
(DON'T CALL ME A LIEAR) as I did not make the
statment.........so DUDE please include this to the mesage you are going to post on fox hunting
ok? :rolleyes: /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif man no wonder hunting as a sport is indangered we cant even suport one another never mind protect our rights.....Jonathan /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
 
oh man sorry, I wasnt trying to call you a liar or anything, I just felt shocked that there is an article out there suggesting this stuff. yes I can see where the round would be effective within feet for dogs and such and how it would be a valuable tool to the DEA or whomever. I love the round for dispaching ptarmigan. If you get back far enough they dont even realize what is going on till youve shot your limit. I guess my underwear is in a knot (lack of hunting and to much sitting in front of this box /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
 
sorry Matt I guess I was a little quick to judge
as well .......just had a strip torn off me on the big game boardabout using a .223 for deer :eek: /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif oh well I guessthay just misunderstood me I just explained that it could be done not should be done..oh well

please accept my sinser apoligy for jumping the gun......Jonathan /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Ps.Matt I just ranyour air gun through the ball computer 17.0gr at 750=21.2386 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif should be enough for bear'slol lol lol /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
oops pardon, typo. I meant to say 7 grain. I have another air gun that will shoot that 7 grainer at 1080 fps. I beleive that is 18 ft/lbs. The formula I use (the part I can remember anyway) is velocity x2 x bullet weight/45245 or something. Not real sure what the bottom number is supposed to be. I missed the .223 for deer thread. Saw it but didnt look at it since theyre are no deer where I am at. The deer that are in alaska top out at maybe 130 lbs. mostly around 90. I think that A .223 would do just nicely for them (but this is just my initial thoughts no experience with). I was thinking my 22-250 would be great on them.
 
first round of testing is compleat
the average fps out of my break down browning supperposed .22 with the SSS 60gr is 845fps and that =95.1525ft pounds energy and the accuracy
thus far in my back yard is around .5" at 50 yards so Matt so far I amwith you (not abig game 110 yrd bullet) but i am not to shure it might not be a bad close (50yrd) fox load only in thouse areas that I can not make alot of noise
and I will be useing it for pidgieons and in the barn coons and also for crows and bunny's will give more input as it is attained...Jonathan /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
I have seen photo evidence of guys succesfully hunting fox with airguns with that kinda power. It would be enough for a fox at less than 50. That round is great on pidgeons the only time they will spook away is when you hit one of there buddies and they here the thwack!
 
Those little things are great for taking squirrels out of my moms trees. I found some of those 60 grainers at a gun show. I thought that they would be an alternative for CB's. They are much better! Knocks them squirrels right out of trees. I have dropped two stray dogs with those too. One was a 40# mut. Took one behind the ear @ about 60 yds. Dropped like a sack. The other made it 50yds after taking one through the ribs @ about 80 yds. You shoudn't have any problems with Fox. I will have to try them on the ground squirrels at a longer distance. My only complaint is they are twice as dirty as regular 22's. Have you guys shot them out on a semi-auto? I have used them in my 10/22. More gases seem to be pushed out of the action because on the short case and heavier bullet. I am sticking with my bolt action. They do well in it.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif oh no see what i started Matt /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
well more testing is needed i want to shoot them over a croney at 100yrd and see what i have and also at 50???? who knows /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
I have noticed through testing that the CB Longs are actually quiter than the CB shorts..They are adequate for killing the cats in my area that are stray. I need to try some of these 60 grainers..Thanks for the info
