I remember my first batch of reloading components for my new .22-250 in 1972. I bought a pound of IMR 4064 for $5.86, a box of Hornady 55 grain softs for $3.12, and a pack of CCI LR primers for $.99. At the time I was starving my way through college and the components were enough to last the year. The powder lasted two years.
