    Aguila Brass

    I recently ended up with a batch of handgun brass that I thought was mixed headstamps but it's looking like it's almost entirely Aguila.

    It looks OK, I haven't loaded any yet. Anyone have experience with Aguila brass?

    I used to shoot a lot of it, was my preferred brand for awhile due to price and ease of ordering in bulk ammo cans. Haven't had any issues reloading it on my presses ymmv
    My feedback page if you feel inclined to add:

    .38 Special, 9mm, .45acp and .223 Aguila brass have been drama free for me.

    I have some 30 Carbine Aguila brass that I have been reloading for several years. It's much softer than LC 30 carbine brass, but works just fine nonetheless.

    38 spl. aguila brass works as well as any--I've had no problems at all.

    I found and bought 5,000 Aguila primed empty 22LR cases. Have been reloading them with BP - 1090fps and have zero issues with any cases including when I expand the case mouth for proper seating of the bullets = No Splits of the Cases
    Regards

    Aguila is good strong brass. Use it with confidence.

    The Mexican pistol shooters use it almost exclusively, as it is about all they can obtain. They report all kinds of loads from Bulls-eye to Keith style with no problems...........
