I tested the Aguila 60-grain SSS ammo against some standard velocity and high velocity. Yesterday I went to Oakwood Sportsman's Lodge to shoot. This has really opened my eyes to what may have happened with the other animals I have used them on. I'm gonna save the CBs for punching paper.
Spinal shot in he neck went clean through the spine, hit the heart, and came out the breastplate. The critter that got shot four times without bleeding a drop died almost instantly. It also made me question the effectiveness on other critters and varmints that haven't been in a trap that I have shot. I'm not one to harm a defenseless animal, and this poor thing wasn't even bleeding. I was astonished, and pretty saddened by this.
The other two were spine shots, but they were completely tangled in the fur. Even two head shots only resulted in subcutaneous wounds. However, this critter had some dense, matted fur that the bullets got caught in. I have used the CB Longs religiously as they are pretty darn quiet and have always worked well for me. I had 4 CB Longs and one Sniper Subsonic in the tube. I decided to do the human thing and put it down and grabbed the Henry. Most of them get taken off into the woods FAR away from here and released, but I caught one today with an eye rotting in its socket and some sort of infection in its foot. Well, I've had a varmint problem as of late, and I've been using live traps to deal with it. Eley is only somewhat better for me, but I think this may be due to the difference in bullet weight. I'm not the best shot, and my henry isn't scoped yet, but it groups better than the Federal American Eagle and CB Longs. It is not as quiet as a CB short or long, but nowhere near as loud as standard or high velocity ammo that you might normally use.Īccuracy is pretty darn good. That is no typo, it technically weighs more than the projectile in most. The round itself is a 22 short casing with a much elongated 60gr. A guy at Shooters America in Brunswick talked me into trying this stuff, and I have been infinitely pleased with it. I don't know if you guys are familiar with this round or not.
