Found these the other day in my stash... Pretty good investment. I'd say they have gone up in value...

I remember 25-count packs of Remingtons that came in a flat box like Chiclets. Dad would pick up a box on Saturday night and we would go to the town dump after church on Sunday and shoot cans.

I’ve still got some like that with a Gibson’s Discount Center price tag. From GrandDads ammo stash.

I recall days when they were cheaper, 65 cents comes to mind.

I remember cheaper to. I also remember never having a lot of ammo hanging around the house. We would stop at the gun-shop and grab a couple boxes on the way to the range.

I have some of those in my collection, along with several boxes of Remington Mohawk .22's, Sears Ted Williams .22's and Montgomery Ward's "Hawthorne" .22's. I shot a lot of the Remington Mohawks when I was a kid.

I can remember when those was 85 cents a box. Highway robbery. How about 35 cents.

Like John, I had some of these 22's in the cello pack in shorts. We shot those teaching son Jake to shoot. A tomato juice can with a snow pile for a backstop.

Ha, i nearly grew up before buying a whole box of shotgun shells. Bought 6 or 7 at a time from a local grocer who broke boxes for us kids to hunt squirrels and wood ducks with.
