I remember being able to to buy those at Wally world for $9/box. I've been scrounging small pistol primers from everybody I know and a friend gave me some CCI. They were marked .96 cents!!

Yep, those days are gone, many deer killed with those bullets.

All I used to use. I still have several boxes and I might go back to them

Imagine how many boxes would sell at that price today.

I'd have to assume that box was from the mid to late '80s, so adjusted for inflation, that's roughly $27 today....so basically, a little more than what .30-06 was selling for before the November election panic.

Yep looks about right

HOB : House of Bargains in Apache Flats, just outside of Jeff City. I worked there in late 80’s behind the gun counter. My boss at the time shot in the Bianchi Cup. They sold a lot of guns out of h to hat place.

I understand BUT
I like $12. much better than $ 27.

I just finished off a can of powder that had a price of $11.97 on the 1 lb can...ah days gone by

Sounds about right. I remember those days vaguely. I was still a kid. I spent a lot time up north with my grandparents during the summer shooting all of my grandpa’s 22 lr ammo up and we’d go to the gas station/hardware store and he’d buy me brick of Winchester Wildcats for somewhere around $12.

I was gifted these from a relative's estate. Can't bring myself to shoot them though.

Got a 1lb can of Dupont 320 marked $2.97 and a Dupont 4227 1lb marked and $3.19. Though not price marked I have Federal 215 primers in wooden trays.

K-Mart a long time ago.

Those were the good old days.

Wish they still made these my supply is getting low

I have Walmart clearance price 30-06 federal premium 165 fr boat tails priced at $3.96 thank goodness they had 20 of em. That was in the 90's Even bought Winchester supreme 180 gr accubonds for 10.99. Best ever was remington 22 hornet 45 gr jhp. 50 round boxes. Bought 30 boxes at $6,95 a box been a few years ago but true story. I've been very lucky over the years. But the old blue box federal from Walmart when it was 9.99 a box for 243 308 06 and 270 and 7mag and 300 win mag were $11.99 a box I spent many a commission check buying that stuff up. GLAD I DID NOW

Wondered what HOB was.

I saw some Hornady SPSX in 223 today... real old stock... from an estate sale...

boxes were marked $3.39 from the store they were originally bought from...

box could I do a lot of shooting with those kind of prices....I am sure a rebarrel was $75 to $90 or so in those days...
