Stolen Winchester 9mm Ammunition

4 cases may have been taken from it --- a case is 1k rnds? 25# per case. Big difference with what was originally reported.

Three freight line shipping containers were robbed of Winchester ammunition in in early September, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The bureau said it is searching for two vehicles in connection with the thefts at the freight stations in Morrisville, Kernersville and Wilmington.

One of the vehicles is reportedly a gray or silver four-door car and the other is a blue, light gray or silver SUV, according to ATF.

My Tundra is a silver 4 door. I hope they don't start looking in Tennessee.

Most 9mm I bought at my old shop came 500 rnds or ten boxes a case. Really bugs some delivery guys when you order 10K or more at a time.

All this for 2,000 rounds of 9mm?

If it was packed in GI package .......I think it's been a while it's about 4400 rounds per box . The boxes are like 108# per box with 4 30 cal cans inside each . A pallet is 36 boxes . 3 layers of 12 on a 40×48 . Short of an Excursion or 3500 Suburban they didn't get away with a pallet . If they tossed 5-6 boxes in the sedan it'd be pretty obvious unless it was on the floor in the back seat . I don't see much more than twice that being in in the SUV even if it was a Suburban/Excursion class .

If they got away with 20 boxes I still don't see 88,000 rounds being worth life in prison. Of course that's a quarter of a million rounds for 3 hits so maybe it does make sense.
