I did a rather in-depth testing of this ammunition. It's the first video of a two part testing. The second part will be testing it with a few different suppressors. Had some interesting results in this video, when comparring it's preformace out of different .22 rifles.

Good video, thank you, I have been considering trying the subsonic rounds myself, this is very helpful. 
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Should've picked some up at the gun show at the airport!Might have to get some of those rounds!
I nailed a woodchuck with one at 15 yards some years back, shooting under the back of the Bronco
with one. It staggered a couple steps; I didn't need to put the second one into it, just wanted to be sure."Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum." -Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus

Re: Aguila sniper subsonic 60 grain: field testing
I've had mixed results with the Aguila 60gr SSS rounds. The bullet needs a fast twist barrel for stabilization. The typical .22 lr barrel is a 1:16 twist - not really fast enough for the heavy bullet. This is why you were seeing the rounds keyhole at 25 yds.
My best success with the SSS rounds is when I shoot them through my AR-15 (1:9 twist barrel) using a Ciener .22 lr conversion kit. Even with that, accuracy is only about 1.5 - 2 inches at 50 yds. YMMV.
