I like their ammo too.

[CS1983]

Those .22LR trainers ain't gonna feed themselves, hombre.

[WillysWagon]

That's a LOT of 22lr ammo.

[wctriumph]

Is a significant amount of ammunition made in Mexico?

[Doc45]

Aguila is a big producer

[Rucker61]

I can only imagine when the thieves show up back at the cartel with .22 LR ammo.

Well, a significant amount is used down there.

[bczandm]

Including deadly .22....I'm sure that's what the cartels wanted!

But title on this thread is more descriptive and not click baity

[FoxtArt]

Sounds like the type of thing where the gang member walks up to the driver and says "Hi, Jack" and hands him an envelope full of cash and everyone walks off.

A true Hijack'ing.

[Irving]

I can't imagine the cartel will be sad about the caliber. They have a vast distribution network and reselling some stolen goods should be no big deal.

[Gman]

Well, it is illegal to own firearms in military calibers in Mexico. They might have some legal issues with the .45 ammo.

Everyone happy? Good, then find ME some ammo!

I don’t know what y’all’s problem is finding ammo. Every time I go into Sportsman’s warehouse I find ammo at the customer service desk. It’s not usually on the shelves because they limit it per customer so people have been hiding ammo all over the store intent on coming back the next day to get more. I’ve also found 2lbs of Tac powder, 1lb each during my last two visits.

[wctriumph]

Good tip

I suppose that the cartels could smuggle the ammo into the US and sell it online and make a great profit. Forget the drugs, smuggling ammunition to supply the true American addiction!

What kind of ammo are you looking for? I haven't been shooting as much as I expected for the past several years ...

BTW, Aguila makes danged good .22LR and .30 Carbine ammo. Haven't shot any of their other calibers.

[theGinsue]

Looking to get 4-5 boxes each of Hornady Critical Defense in 9mm and .45 auto.

Also want to get ~500 rounds of both those calibers in range ammo.

It's not really for me, uh, I'm asking for a friend. Would like to keep the range ammo to one manufacturer and type for each of the calibers (ex. Winchester White Box 115gr for 9mm and Remington 185gr or 230gr in .45 auto) - no +P.

ETA: Oh yeah, and I'm cheap. I might be willing to pay a retailer the inflated prices they're charging (MIGHT!), but a reseller...not likely. I'm not in critical need, but just slightly above my "discretionary limit" right now so not getting out to shoot it up.

[Aloha_Shooter]

LOL, don't have any of the good stuff to spare. Probably don't have that much range ammo to spare either but good luck. :D
