    I love when that happens

    Low round count long guns like my 223 bolt action and 30-30 levergun are easier on the primer stash than a hungry AR...

    That stuff never happens to me. One of the few benefits of getting older I guess.

    A 1970 Chevelle SS LS6 454 cu in was $3k in 1970.

    The Fed minimum wage was $1.60.

    Not sure how much primers were but probably along those lines.

    Reloading your own doesn't save much unless you're loading alot of 9x19 but it saves plenty in other calibers, even at .10 a primer.

    Oh yea the really good "OLD" days,LOL ! I started loading in 79 after getting out of the Military,,.99 cents per 100 pack! I can imagine what they cost in 1970!

    Still nothing super,but it looks like they are coming down just a little:https://www.targetsportsusa.com/primers-c-2806.aspx
