Tell me about the old days and ammo......

[fluxed]

I was paying 115.00/1000 in an ammo can, for SS109 with once fired Lake City brass up until about 1998.

Here ya go. I'm sure someone can top this, but you get the idea...


HA! When I get home, I'll post a pic of a box of 50, .38 special for a little over $3.

I have a box of 30-30 Winchester with an Otasco price tag of $7.89.
You could have bought three bags of groceries or over a tank full of gasoline for that amount.
Perspective.

Very true, inflation considered we have been pretty fortunate with ammo pricing up til now.

Heck, I remember when a case of WWB 5.56mm was $160.00 for a case of 1000.

I worked part time in a gun shop in Madison, Wisconsin back in the late 80's - early 90's and can remember when .223 WWB sold for $1.99 for a 20 count box. Those were the good ole days..... (sighs)

Very disappointing. Up until 2 months ago, all I owned was a 12 ga. 870, so never had the need to buy or stock up on ammo before things went south. I got some .223, but I wouldn't say I got a deal. At this point though, it is a bit better than most prices I've seen - if you can even get it.
