This 22 LR cartridge is from Aguila’s Interceptor line of ammunition. What does it intercept, you might ask? Virtually anything, because Aguila boasts that this round delivers the fastest muzzle velocity of any 40 grain 22 LR on the market. With its 1,470 fps muzzle velocity this round’s exceedingly flat trajectory provides the accuracy you need to hit the centers of targets, the caps off of emptied two liter bottles, and whichever vital you deem calls for perforating within a wascally wabbit.

This round’s 40 grain bullet is a copper plated solid point. It won’t mushroom during penetration, but the 113 ft/lb energy it supplies at 100 yards will prove ample enough power to make a quick kill nonetheless. This bullet’s plating keeps it from mucking up your rifle’s or pistol’s bore with lead residue. Aguila’s brass casing, non-corrosive rimfire primer, and clean burning propellant are all up to whatever task you’d engage them in, making this a versatile and cost-effective round indeed.

Ballistic Gel Test

Ballistics Test Summary

Ballistic gelatin testing is one of the best methods we have available today for predicting the real-world performance of self-defense ammunition. We’ve used Clear Ballistics synthetic gelatin to test over 150 handgun loads, including Aguila 40 Grain. We fired 5 rounds into the gel with a four-layer cloth barrier to determine whether heavy clothing would affect the penetration and expansion characteristics of the bullet. All rounds were fired from a S&W 43C to reflect the type of short barreled compact pistols that are most commonly carried by legally armed citizens.

Above, you can find photos of the actual bullets suspended in the test medium. Images of the recovered bullets are below on the left and high-speed footage of the first bullet fired into the gel is below on the right. All of the data we collected from our test of Aguila 40 Grain is in the chart below that along with diagrams that might give you an idea of how this load compares to other .22 Long Rifle (LR) products.

If you want to see the rest of our ballistic gel test results, all of that data is available in our handy interactive charts at Lucky Gunner Labs.
