How many manufacturers outsource to Mexico? Aguila is the only one of which I'm aware.

I can't see how companies would do business with Mexican companies with such a high risk of theft like this.

Next, it will be lumber. They have designed rigs for this type of hauling before.

You could be right. I just sorta skimmed the article. I know they make a ton of different 22 ammo. Stuff smells like poop too!!!

This was in a now-locked thread in the Ammo forum... More information about the calibers involved, so it may well have been .22.

https://www.breitbart.com/border/2021/06/13/gunmen-in-mexico-steal-7-million-ammunition-rounds-headed-to-texas/ Maybe cartels are going into the illegal ammo sells business.... Can you imagine going to a street ammo dealer secretly slipping him a $20 as he slips a bag of 9mm into your pocket.
