Two dead. http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/news/2015/02/24/explosion-at-ammunition-factory-kills-2-in-mexico/

That doesn't bode well for the ammo supply at all.

The article doesn't say "Aguila." Is Industrias Tecnos the parent company of Aguila?

 

[FrankenMauser]

I hope their families will be okay.


And... damn. They already discontinued my favorite load. Now, the chances of it coming back any time soon are somewhere below zero.

Yes, Industrias Technos is the ammo company, Aguila is their brand name.

That's going to put a damper on the supply of Eley rimfire ammunition.

 

[Brit]

Eley? Is that not British ammo?

 

[Mosin-Marauder]

No!!!!!

Now my chances of finding more Super Extra ammo are Kaput.

Prayers to the families of those killed.

Very unfortunate.

I bought a case of "Aguila." .22 target, at a Gun Show, in Rochester, when I still lived in Toronto. Fantastic price.

Stopped by Canada Customs, on Peace Bridge.

When questioned by the nice young Lady, I pointed out my Wife would not let me keep ammunition in the house, and when did Americans put French on their packages?

OK on your way! She did not see Spanish, just French!

The good old days, we used to shop for clothes, liqueur, shoes.

Now the US Dollar, is very high, so no benefit there.

Now I do not shoot .22 at all.

I thought ELEY was owned by Remington? Or is it that ELEY makes some of the Remington line?
