Was helping a friend clean out some boxes that he basically inherited and we found this

check out the prices comes out to .0289 cents per round for 22 lr. or 15.89 for a 550 brick.

Also found cases of 30.06 Was told his buddy had a Garand at one time, some 474 H&H and some calibers in akcly improved whatever that is.

Bunch of cci primers in packaging I've never seen except in old magazines.

various other random pistol including 454 casual and rifle cartridges

Somewhere, I have a box of 70-year-old Remington-Peters 45 ACP ammo that my dad used. It was marked under three bucks, if I recall correctly.

Honestly, it was only 10 years ago that I was buying Federal bulk-pack .22 on sale for under 15 bucks at Cabela's or Wally World. Thank goodness I bought a bunch of it.

What I find funny is that "Pamida" was a grocery/deparment store that sold ammo, they went out of business 20 years ago.

Yup, it's interesting when you think of all the folks that used to sell guns and ammo.

My first deer rifle was a Sears "Ted Williams" .30-06, with a used Weaver K-4 scope on it. Bought at White's Auto, an old chain here in Texas. My first bicycle as a kid came from them as well.

I wish I still had that rifle. It was a great shooter, and an old fellow at a gun show told me they were made by FN in Belgium. If that were true, I doubly wish I had kept it.

I'm old enough to recall cci and Remington .22 for sale at $5.00 for a box of 500. Those were the days.

SS: My dad bought his rifle at sears as well... a Marlin model 99 in .300 Savage. I've got another "Old" rifle in the safe. A Remington in .222 Rem with an oddball scope. It was featured in American Rifleman back in the '50s -- or so I am told.

Got a couple of old boxes of stuff, one is .300 Wby from the 60's.

The bitch of it is that right up until everything went crazy after Sandy Hook, I refused to buy the 525 boxes of Gloden Bullets for more than $16.99 because I knew they went on sale every couple of weeks for that price.

I'm at least seeing those boxes on store shelves again but they have prices of $39.99.

That was only four years ago...

I researched and figured out possible year ranges on this USC CO 45 ACP found at my late great-grandfather's house awhile back. I should have written it all down because now I can't remember.

If I remember correctly, the left cartridge has the early large extractor groove for use with half-moon clips and a corrosive primer.

The right cartridge has the current extractor groove size with a non-corrosive primer denoted by the overlayed "U" and "S" stamp on the primer.

Back around 1960 .22LR was 50 cents a box of 50, everywhere. And, don't remember as many duds either. Only about some 15 or 16 years ago Big 5 would sell a brick of .22LR for something like $10.99 (something like a limit of 2 bricks).
