Aquila Increasing .22 Production by 30% per Year (.22 drought relief?)

I talked to Rodney S. Taylor, Chief Engineer, at the Shot Show in Las Vegas. He said that the .22 ammunition is the Company's mainstay, by far the majority of the ammunition that they produce. Much of the Ammunition goes to the Central and South America markets. Aquila made the decision to significantly increase production a couple of years ago. Their machinery is state of the art, an almost completely automated, top of the line, process. Last year, in 2015, they increased their production by close to 30%, producing somewhat less than a billion rounds of ammunition. I recall a figure being mentioned of about $2 million dollars being invested in .22 rimfire production last year.

Got some 22 shorts that I’m not using if you want them.

I always have good results with Aguila or any other brand. I also know to clean my 22 rifle when it starts jamming and then I’m good to good for several hundred rounds again..

I saw stacked boxes of 38 super at Sportsmans warehouse today.

Thanks. Not my thing but rktman may be interested.

LOL! I’ve seen them stacked up too. Looks like I might have to go collect some cans off the roadside to buy a box though. That’s a lot of cans to gather. Haven’t been in Sportsmans(Reno) for a while so I guess I need to wander in. Got a smokin’ deal on my M&P there.
