Based on the tray, associated info at the linked site,
I think it's relabled Aguila production.
That 1130 fps rings a bell also, that'd be Aguila Super Extra.
Read carefully, only the powder is made in the USA.
Hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like the Aguila headstamp.
Yep, close up shows it is the Aguila headstamp.

20 years ago when the factory was brand new… They actually made a pretty good ammo.
The question is whether to pick the stuff up for plinking.... Not that I probably need any more ammo

If you read the ad, it tells you the powder is WPT105 which is USA made by General Dynamics, the case is made by Aguila like Justin said, I also think he is correct that it is made, primed, and assembled by Aguila.
Some of their stuff shoots fair, I use some of their pistol match, and Super Extra for practicing positional shooting, at 25 and 50 yards. The accuracy falls off beyond that too bad to shoot it further than that.
I have been paying $25 per brick of 500, there is a pawn shop not far from me that has kept it in stock even during the ammo shortage. Limit 2 bricks at a time. So I have bought 6 bricks up to a few weeks ago.

I bought 2000 rounds of the stuff, and I’m going to let the kids rifle team at the club see how much of match ammo it really is...
I’ve got about 25,000 rounds or so of other 22LR... as I saw all of this coming and I knew at some point the kids at the club would probably need ammo. This is really more just to see how it’s gonna do for $.12 around. (Which is still crazy expensive.)

.22LR Ammo Evaluation - Sterling Cross
Over the past couple of years there has been a surge of interest in .22 Rimfire in Canada (at least from my perspective). Arguably, it could be traced to the...
I've found that if the word "Match" is on the label, it ain't.
With an ES of 140 fps, it really ain't.

Well, a buddy of mine has a 22 Long rifle machine gun, so if worse comes to worst. Bahahahahahaha
The Aguila loaded Eley Sport stuff that was Eley primed from a few years back was good, for the price. I remember it being slightly cheaper than CCI std paper box and slightly better performing. It is no longer made though. I have never been that impressed Aguila's other stuff from either an overall performance standpoint or even a performance at price standpoint.
You know, if your impressed with a $217 for 2k price on "match" ammo maybe you should look up the CMP Eley stuff.

Yeah but then I’m gonna go through the whole registration process, and it’s been years since I bought anything from them
