Given all the weapons, ammo, explosives and other items being found in the last few years.

Are we looking at a build up to major Terror Attack later this year?

#3 ^ Worth noting for your transportation requirements, 1000 rounds of .308 weigh 40-45 lbs. Thanks Brer.

#4 Could they be smuggling ammunition to the drug cartels south of the border? Or is that a supply for a really good range day? I have no idea about such things.

#5 .308 sells for just above $1 per round. I'd say they weren't planning a day at the range.

#8 "OK pal, what's with all the ammunition?"
"We are simple hunters of moose."
"180,000 rounds?"
"Cousin Juan is a very poor shot."

Interesting that there was a lot more .308 than 7.62.
