Ammo Cost

[skeet]

I bought Alcan shot in plastic bags at a gun club in 1966 for 3.75 a bag and they were making money at that price. Winchester 209 primers were 5.50 at a local sporting goods store. We went clear to Lancaster Pa and bought over a thousand dollars worth of stuff cause we got primers for 4.75 a thousand. We bought 30,000 and had to buy more three months later. We used 'em all up. 2 of us loaded over 100,000 shells every year for at least 10 yrs....and I was just a kid working on farms etc... Hope ya got that Catfish. I was just a kid..hehehe BTW I bought my first M-12 Win in 1959 for 35 bucks an as new field gun. I made the money catching crabs and snapping turtles out of my own boat. I was NOT very old
