Interesting story, maybe instead of drugs they are going to be smuggling 22lr haha.
I'm assuming its Aguila ammo that was hijacked.
Here's the story:

Wonder if that was my delivery?
Have enough .22 ammo... for that reason I am out.
They are just helping their partners, the ammo scalpers, keep the demand and price up. Bob
thats a whole new level of hoarding..............
I would guess like any thing demand and money to be made drives the black market
Doc is probably looking down and crying! I remember him here during the last .22 shortage!!
sure miss Doc , he was a great fellow , he would have been some one to have a cup of coffee with
I have a hard time figuring out how they hide two semis
Two trailers full of ammo and two tractors. Quite the haul.
I think there's a cartel in Wal-Mart doing that and they're not wearing work shoes and name tags. They've wearing suits and ties and in an office.
Another good reason to have MADE IN AMERICA.
7 million rounds at today's average price here on GB works out to about $1,200,000. I wonder if they would take 10¢ on the dollar to unload their ill gotten gains?
I am awful fond of Aguila 22 ammo but could probably be talked in to selling a few bricks if I had 7 million rounds to play with.😀 Bob
