The owners of the cafe in my hometown would give us kids a 50 rd box for glass bottle trade in. Been awhile but I think a 12 pack of bottles. Owners kept the shells in the basement. Didn't care if we were 10,12,16 years old, because they knew all the parents.

One word. Democrats !

Son bought a AR and I told him I would load some ammo for him. I’ll bet these are from 1990 by the price sticker

Close but there are still some good Democrats somewhere it’s the far left the ultra liberals and we have a lot of those that call themselves republicans

P.S
It’s why I don’t identify with either party
I’m a hard core right wing conservative constitutionalist

I still stick by my previous statement.

The dump master on Route 35 near Bethel, Maine gave us kids a nickel for every rat he saw us shoot. I had a Marlin 39a and a lot of rats met their fate from it. When we saved up 70¢, we went down to Dudley's General Store in East Stoneham and bought a box of Western Super-X ammo and repeated the cycle. Rats paid for about half the ammo.

Would love to borrow that pistol rest !

Would love to borrow that pistol rest !

If you lived next door I’d gladly let you borrow it Mollett but I don’t let it out of state

Well thinking about it if you moved in next door I’d gladly give you one to get rid of the Asshole that lives there— no hound dogs though

I used to buy 100 count boxes of Win SuperX for 1.70 a box when I was a teenager at the local hardware. They were my fave 22s at the time.

In the early 60's I used to round up soda bottles, take them to the Mom 'n' Pop grocery store to claim the deposit, then walk across the parking lot to the hardware store where I bought a 50 round box of 22LR for 49 cents. Then off to the hills to plink tin cans, glass jars, or whatever struck my fancy. And I took my rifle to school held across the handlebars of my Schwinn Stingray, gave it to my teacher (along with the box of ammo) to hold for me until after school when I'd go to the hills before dinner. The only warning from my mom was "don't be late for dinner".

What happened?
Ohhh, 15 buck burger flippers, having ambition $timulated toward extinction, being more worried about snail darters than unborn humans......just the usual "progress". :-/ :-/

 

[Kermit in Va.]

Yep

Bought my first Brick of Win Super X for my 52D Match in "63" for the outrageous price of $5.00 . Dad was very "clear" when he said I could only use them for Matches , and not practice . But the ammo we got from DCM was practice rounds .
