Freak 'em out more by asking for a couple of boxes of eagle.

Good stuff.
(By the way, always impress your friends and infuriate bigots by using the correct Spanish pronunciation: AW-gee-la, accent in the first syllable. It means eagle.)
Re: Aquila increases .22 production
27I bought a case of Aquila in the 90s and had lots of feeds issues in pistols that ran other ammunition well. I considered it junk.
I've ordered sever different kinds of Aguila from Academy this summer and am mostly pleased with it. The HV cycles well in everything and provides good enough accuracy in Green Mountain 10/22 barrels. It appears to group better than their match variants. The SV has mediocre accuracy at 100 yards, but the subsonic is a bit better.
Seems to have improved tremendously since my last batch.

28Yeah, I bought a brick of Aquila HV not too long ago, runs perfectly in all my guns and does pretty well in the Postal Matcheszukiphile wrote:I bought a case of Aquila in the 90s and had lots of feeds issues in pistols that ran other ammunition well. I considered it junk.
