    I've shot some. It felt a little hotter than my 124gr reloads at 1100fps.

    Haven't shot that particular type, but in general the Aguila stuff is fine.

    The Aguila plant is located in Mexico, and supposedly it was set up there by Remington, basically just to take advantage of laxer wage laws and environmental regulation down there. I don't know what Remington's current relationship with Aguila (if any) is, but in my experience with other types of Aguila ammo, I'd say its as good as any of the other non-premium brands, and certainly better than the Russian steel-case stuff.

    On pricing, the going rate on the net seems to be around $12 a box of 50. $13 a box of 50 is reasonable for a local buy, but its not an exceptional price (ie I wouldn't "stock up" at that price).

    FWIW, a quick peek with Google found me this:

    1000 rounds for $190 looks pretty good to me, but you have also carefully consider the shipping costs, which will probably add another $20 or maybe more to the total.
