Damn that a lot of ammo

[peterk123]

I was expecting at least 500,000 rounds. Boy, would they be shocked to visit some of our homes

CBP seizes more than 11,000 rounds of ammunition at El Paso port of entry

Securing America's Borders

11,000?

That’s a good start.

 

[Sunny]

Were they LIVE rounds??

 

[Foudre]

What are they going to do with them, destroy em, sell em or keep em?

 

[FC Magic]

A shoebox filled with .22?

Why would someone be smuggling ammo into the US? That makes no sense at all. You can buy it over the counter or have it shipped pretty much anywhere except for a few states.

Stolen from mexico somewhere and a premium here?

Ammo is plentiful here then instead of taco land

 

[fencer]

Ammo is plentiful here then instead of taco land

But if you take it from the Federales, it's free.

Maybe they worked at the Aguila plant and took it one piece at a time….

It might be plentyful here
But whats 308 go for $1 rnd still , show up somewhere and sell ammo for .25 cents less than shelf price …..you will sell out

A 1gallon jug holds 1500 22lr , just saying

Quartermaster for the cartels is in charge of logistics and this is no paper trail.

 

[FC Magic]

Well, I happen to have particularly large feet.

ONLY 1500rds?
A 30 cal ammo can easily holds 3500. That's what I do.

[Maxrobot]

7.62 could mean 7.62 x 39 ammo for AK types, not necessarily 7.62 x 51 (.308)
Perhaps some group is planning on something?

Skinny 30 cal 1.5 gallons?

“To put it in perspective CBP officers working at El Paso area ports seized 15,678 rounds of ammunition in all of fiscal year 2021, 7,224 rounds in fiscal year 2022 and 11,205 rounds in fiscal year 2023."

I’ve never poured liquids into my ammo cans I would not know how much they hold.

Did you mean to type:

But if the federales give it to you to transport to ms13 usa division....its free?

The ass end of that van must have been dragging the bumper on the ground? Question for you 308 guys. What’s 1k of 308 weigh.

 

[jkelly1229]

11,000?

That’s a good start.

What is it just like what was left in the car after a few years?

 

[JuergenG]

What’s 1k of 308 weigh.

At 147 grs bullet weight: 50 cartons @ 20ea in a wooden crate would be 30.5 KG = 64 lbs.; in a sturdy outer carton it should be about 55 lbs.

Well I didn't say steal it from the Federales

180 cases of 308 and 7.62x51, even I’m impressed. That would’ve cost about $140K, seems like it might set a red flag when some wetbacks come in and buy that in a single purchase.

Probably 7.62x39 cheap Russian ammo, something we can't get bring in right now.

And shipping it to your home, or buying it at a store, will leave a trail most criminals try to avoid.

 

[Executive]

Meh. 11,000 rounds? Not impressed.

11k rounds of .22 is 2.2 cases. About 75 lbs.
