I imagine some of you 'veteran' shooters remember the days gone by when
ammo was aplenty and the prices were very low. What price do you remember
22lr at?

Don.t remember ammo but do remember gas at 15.9/gak, could fill up my 52 Bel Aire for 2 bucks

I can remember 19.9 cents/gallon, that's the lowest I can go. I'm a relatively new shooter so $15 for a brick is low for 22lr for me.

I remember that too. Coke was a nickel with a penny deposit for the bottle and we liked Ike.

Remember the old jingle on the radio? Pepsi Cola hits the spot, 12 full ounces that's a lot, twice as much for a nickel too, Pepsi Cola is the drink for you

Let's see I'm 34, I started buying pistol ammo 13 years ago.... I thought $12 was expensive for 40s&w and 9mm was $9 for decent stuff.....

The lowest I remember on gas was 0.17/gal.

As far as 22lr the lowest I remember is $0.39/50.

I can remember 50 round boxes for 79 cents. The first long plastic CCI boxes I ever saw were $1.88 IIRC. Seems like a box of .38 was seven bucks?

Earliest gun prices I can remember, I paid $125 for a used blue Speed-Six in .38 with the 2 1/4 barrel, my first gun. My brand new stainless Security-Six, 4 inch, was $310. The shop threw in a $30 Bianchi thumb break holster.

Cheapest gas ever I bought at normal price was about 36 cents. With gas wars it was sometimes 25 cents.

In high school, one of our more famous eateries had hotdogs for 22 cents, a Coke (in the bottle) was 15 cents. A bowl of chili was thirty cents. You could eat a big lunch and get change back from a dollar. Now their hotdogs are two dollars and not as good. The Coke (in a cup) is a dollar and a half.

I remember driving from L.A to Detroit in my V.W and spending $30 on gas for the trip....

Yep, a mere whippersnapper.
