Aguila Interceptor 22LR 40gr Copper Plated Hollow Point Ammo

The Aguila Interceptor 22LR ammunition delivers consistent expansion and reliable terminal performance for small game hunting and pest control applications. This copper-plated hollow point design maximizes energy transfer while maintaining accuracy across various barrel lengths and rifle platforms.

What Makes This Different

The Interceptor features a specialized hollow point cavity engineered for controlled expansion at 22LR velocities. Unlike standard lead round nose ammunition, the copper plating reduces barrel fouling and provides uniform bullet release. The 40-grain weight offers an optimal balance between velocity and retained energy downrange, making it more effective than lighter high-velocity rounds for hunting applications.

Key Features

• 40-grain copper-plated hollow point bullet for reliable expansion
• High-quality brass cases suitable for reloading applications
• Consistent powder charges for uniform velocity and accuracy
• Reduced barrel fouling compared to unplated lead bullets
• Compatible with all 22LR rifles, pistols, and revolvers
• Bulk packaging with 50 rounds per box, 20 boxes per case (1,000 total rounds)
• Manufactured to SAAMI specifications for reliable feeding and extraction

Field testing demonstrates effective expansion on small game targets while maintaining sufficient penetration for clean kills. The copper plating extends barrel life by reducing lead deposits, particularly important for high-volume shooting sessions. Accuracy remains consistent across bolt-action rifles, semi-automatic platforms, and handguns, with many firearms showing sub-2-inch groups at 50 yards.
