Growing up the old store had 22 short for 1/2 cent and long and long rifle were a penny a piece. I believe the shotgun shells were 5 maybe 6 cents a piece.

I wasn't very long after the price went to 1 penny for short, 1 1/2 cent for long and 2 cent for long rifle that they quit selling them like that.

As a 10, 11, 12 year old I bought many shells that way

For every law that's passed, a little freedom dies!!!!!
