And my guns like Aguilas. Oh well, I've got a trailer load already.

So much for the ammunition background check.
Might cheap over at the school by my house it seems to get lots of traffic at night on weekend

Well that sucks. With CCI and Federal selling direct to customers with no California sales. This has me wondering if this truck load will have an effect on the curve that's been trending down. After all it's only one truck of many I hope.

Cheapest I've seen it was .09 cpr a few days ago.

I don't know if .22lr will increase. The cartels probably mistakenly hijacked the .22lr as it's almost useless for combat.
Hopefully they'll just turn around and sell it back to Aquila for cash.

Seems to me an armed escort from Mexico and well into the US would be warranted given the tremendous amount of organized crime going on in Mexico. Didn't anyone guess this is a very likely thing to take place?
Or- on the other hand- maybe they didn't pay the protection money to insure the truck makes it into the US safely.

What would Mexican assailants want with .22 ammo? I mean, guns are illegal in Mexico so what would they need them for?

New & updated news states that the 2 trailers also carried .38 super, .40SW & .45ACP, so the contents were definitely useful for a Cartel.

Also mentioned that it was a 2-truck convoy with additional security vehicles, no idea how the hijack happened or where the drivers/escorts are.

I thought prices were already hiked.

Actually I expect Aguila 22lr to become very available cheap on the street with no back ground checks.

Depends on the geographic location of the hijack.

And .22 can be used to teach the Cartel's lil' ones how to shoot.

I just discovered 400 rounds of SuperExtra in the back of my ammo cabinet... guess it'd be similar in ballistic performance (I didn't say accuracy) to MiniMags.

Aguila ammo. Heck, let them keep it.

I've fired a fair amount of it over the years with 0 problems. Not all ammo has to be Eley Tenex.
