Aguila colibri 22lr manual#

Lately the MiniMag SEEM to have fewer misfeeds than any other. Just a single random-selected measurement from boxes on the shelf without bothering to dig thru ammo boxes.Īguila Super Max Hyper Vel 30gn hp - 0.963'įed Champion Value Pak 36gn hp High Vel - 0.969'įed Premium Gold Medal Target 40gn LRN - 0.981' Didn't take an average of a large sample or whatever, so there's no reason to expect any of these would be near the mean of the distribution. 22 lr ammo so while had the calipers out here are some random measurements.

Aguila colibri 22lr manual#

Sometime ought to re-try manual mag-loading them and see if there is a trick getting it to work if its working for some of ya'll. My 'ordinary' old colibri actually are in typical. A couple of em bounced back at us but most were strong enough to stick in the tree bark. When I gave Dad most of the brick we shot a bunch of them at a paper target on an oak tree out of his old pot-metal. Definitely am not claiming that Jonnin is wrong. Maybe its about the same thing as Jonnin reported, but going all the way tru 3/8 plywood sounds a little stronger than bouncing off a plastic jug, but maybe its about the same. I didn't chrono the velocity, but was shooting at a 3/8' piece of plywood from maybe 10 feet, and about half of the colibri went all the way thru and the other half got well-buried in the 3/8' plywood. Maybe that is variable with different batches too. Maybe I was getting a little more velocity from the 2002 colibri than Jonnin reports.

Some people have reported the 'super maximum' hyper velocity performing pretty accurately, so maybe the quality control is better nowadays. Maybe my remaining colibri's have aged the same way and are duds. They had got old and at least 8 out of 10 were duds, so they didn't age gracefully. Tried shooting those hypervelocity last year to use em up and get em off the shelf.

Bought a brick of Aguila 'Super Maximum' hyper velocity the same time in 2002 which would fire reliably but were inaccurate so I didn't use em up. Mine are date 2002 (I have 1 box of 50 left). If they would just feed from a mag it wouldn't be too annoying to shoot them manually working the bolt, compared to stuffing them in one at a time. When I ordered the colibri had been hoping they would feed from a mag. I think that one is a 24' barrel as best can recall. It was too much trouble with my fat fingers trying to poke em one at a time into the chamber.ĭidn't get any bullets stuck in the 541THB rifle barrel, but maybe didn't shoot enough of em to give it a fighting chance to stick one. Manual-fed from the magazine, the short little colibri wanted to get turned sideways in the action rather than feed straight into the chamber. Maybe you could feed em manually out of a mag on some guns, but it didn't work for me on those two guns. The rounds were too short to manually feed from a mag by working the bolt. Havent tried em in years but with a Rem 541T bolt action rifle and the Mark II pistol, couldn't manually feed from the magazines. Didn't have a revolver and it was too much trouble to stuff 1 bullet at a time into the Mark II. I had a brick of the ordinary colibri but gave most of em away.
