26 bricks of .22 LR? I'm thinking I have that much stashed in the basement. The .38 Super is a little curious. It's a very popular competition caliber but a little light (and loud) for nefarious purposes. My guess is that this stuff was for sale and that this was a genuine smuggler who had a specific customer in mind.

.38 Super is (used to be?) fairly popular in Mexico, where 9mm Para and .45 ACP are banned as "military calibers".

The .38 Super is the most popular cartridge in Mexico...always has been. The .22 is the only legal rifle in Mexico. .30 caliber rifles are military weapons under Mexican law. In Mexico, people use .22s, shotguns and .38 revolvers. The drug gangs use more potent firepower.

The Mexican Constitution prohibits civilian ownership of military calibers. This has been interpreted to mean .45 ACP, 9mm, .357 but not .38 Super. So for years the .38 Super has been the pistol round of choice for Mexicans, including many police and security guards. They like the 1911, the gun for which the .38 Super is primarily chambered.
