Fiocchi Made in Mexico?! | Aguila in Disguise?

Описание:   / thegunviking      • Test of subsonic rimfire ammunition      • Bergara B14R ammo tests      • Test of Fiocchi .22lr ammo   Fiocchi ammo is normally produced in Italy. So imagine my surprise when I picked up a box of Fiocchi 38gr Subsonic HP that clearly stated:

Made in Mexico.

That immediately raises an interesting question.

👉 Is this Fiocchi…👉 or is this Aguila in disguise?

🔧 Test Setup

Ammo: Fiocchi .22LR 38gr Subsonic HP

Rifle: Bergara B14R

Optic: Meopta Optika6 5–30×56

Paper targets: 50 yards

Steel & reactive targets: 100 yards

Conditions: Calm, minimal wind

Support: Solid bench setup

This is a direct comparison under nearly identical conditions to my previous Aguila tests.

🎯 50 Yards – Accuracy Results

At 50 yards, the difference was immediately noticeable.

Groups were tight and consistent —on a completely different level compared to the 38gr Aguila Subsonic I’ve tested before.

If this is Aguila-produced ammo, then this is a very good lot,because the precision tells a very different story.

🔭 100 Yards – Practical Shooting

At 100 yards, expectations were realistic.

Hits were possible, but not easy.I managed one confirmed hit, which is exactly what I’d expect given the ballistic limitations of a 38gr subsonic HP.

No miracles here —but the behavior was predictable, and that matters.

🧠 So What’s Going On?

Is this rebranded Aguila?

Maybe.Maybe not.

What is clear is that:

This Fiocchi lot behaves nothing like the Aguila 38gr subsonic I’ve tested

Precision at 50 yards is clearly superior

Consistency is good, even if long-range performance is limited by physics

⚠️ Final Verdict

Is this match ammo?❌ No.

Is it surprisingly accurate at 50 yards?✅ Absolutely.

Is it better than the Aguila 38gr Subsonic I tested earlier?✅ Without question.

Whether this is Fiocchi, Aguila, or some Mexican magic —this lot performs.
