The Aguila Supermaximum 22LR pushes a 30-grain plated hollow point to 1700 feet per second — a high-velocity rimfire load built for bolt action rifles. Aguila chambers this round to deliver 204 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, placing it in the supersonic band where expansion and flat trajectory meet. You’re running .22 Long Rifle cartridges that are new-production, non-corrosive, and designed for precision platforms where semi-auto cycling isn’t a concern. For range work, varmint control, and extended-distance plinking, this load brings speed and energy without requiring tuned extractors or buffer systems.
Built for the Box
Aguila manufactures this ammunition with a plated hollow point projectile — a lead core wrapped in copper plating, then formed with a cavity at the nose. Plating reduces barrel fouling compared to plain lead, and the hollow point opens a window for expansion on impact. At 1700 fps, you’re delivering enough velocity to flatten trajectory out to 75 yards while keeping recoil negligible. The load is intended for bolt action rifles, where the shooter manually cycles each round and the gun doesn’t rely on blowback timing or magazine spring tension. Fifty rounds per box, packaged for efficient transport and storage.

This load sits at the top end of the rimfire velocity spectrum, where lighter projectiles hit maximum fps before pressure curves flatten. For shooters running CZ 457s, Ruger Precision Rimfires, or any other bolt platform, you’re cycling manually — no need to worry about short-stroking or failure-to-feed.

Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities — review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Always follow the four rules of firearm safety: treat every gun as loaded, never point at anything you’re not willing to destroy, finger off the trigger until ready to fire, and know your target and what’s beyond it.
- Verify state and local ammunition laws before purchasing. Some jurisdictions restrict hollow point or high-velocity loads.
- This ammunition contains lead. Wash hands after handling. California Proposition 65 warning applies.
