Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Remember When?

Ha ha ha, bbq in NY, is like finding clam chowder in New Mexico! If you find it, its alleged! The cheapest box of .22 lr in my stash is marked 1.09. Remington purchased at Payless drug store! I dont remember the year purchased! Payless was more expensive than the sporting stores. I'm guessing around 90 or 91, wife said Payless closed in 93. Oh ya the box is red and white with green Remington written across the center of the box!

I see Blackie took one of his Bitter pills this morning.

I do know your full of [bleep] as a christmas goose. Your the one who thinks trespassing is ok , if it suits your agenda! That in itself proves you function with a lack of normal brain wave activity. Or L.O.N.B.W.A.! That should be your new handle! Maybe tattoo it on your forehead, so you dont have to open your mouth and prove it!

He never bought a cube steak for less'n 3 dollars.

Thats means they didn't exist.....

I remember when I was drinking good bourbon before it was trendy.

Being pretentious has always been trendy......

You realize your cheep Walmart goods are really expensive right?


Jeezus......get an education.


You realize things cost different amounts in different areas?



Fugging country boy....wearing your Wranglers to Walmart.....

No I don't want to be confused, with some alleged country boy from NY.

Lol, 75cents, what'd ya do buy them in 1806?

I remember .22LR for a penny apiece and wondered even then how they managed to make a round of ammo for less than a penny. Not long after that, primers were a dollar a hundred. If you scrounged wheelweights and cast your own bullets, you could reload centerfire rounds like .30-30 or .30-06 for about three cents. Your only costs were primer and powder and powder ran about two dollars a pound.

For perspective, however, wages then ran about a buck fifty an hour, so you had two hours of labor for that powder and primers. Not much different than just before this current abnormal price climb.

Funny the prices of guns and ammo were comparable to here when I was in Montana in 1993. Like I said, you'll have to bullshyt somebody else.

Now Walmart is the best place for ammo. Ha ha ha ha! No 7.62 x25, no 6.5 x 55, no 8 x 57. The great ammo store, ha ha ha!

Those were probably priced when you could by a new car for $2500 and a living wage was maybe $7-8000/yr. Multiply all those numbers by 10 and see what the ammo costs.
