I just caught this post. Back in the day, our local "gas station" sold .22 ammo. Shorts were $.25, longs were $.30, and LR's were $.40. We shot a lot of shorts. My best buddy's rifle was a Win Mod 63 that only shot shorts. It was sweet. My old JC Higgins bolt would shoot them all. KS had a law then that coon hunters had to carry shorts at night to try to prevent deer poaching.
