I can get a dozen eggs for $1.00 these days but for the Vett. No such luck.
Ah, the past.

In 1962 powder was under $2.00 per a single pound of powder, and primer I can't remember. I think it as around the $0.65 per 100. a 100 bullets was about $3.00.

That was a joke, I'm 75!! and my first car was a 66 GTO, that cost $2800.00 brand new !!! With the optional $90-dollar Vinyl Top and 4 speed, with Hurst Shifter. AHHHH yes , The good old day!! I save up $1000 dollars and the payments were about $59,00 a month. I loved it!!! I think Ill put on "Me TV "and see what Andy and Barney are up too!!!

Working for $5.00 a day wasn't that good, but at the same time I could ride my Cushman Eagle all afternoon on 15 cents worth of gas. I don't remember reloading component pricing at that time, but the local gun shop would sell you shotgun or centerfire rifle ammo by the "each".
I bought a brand new Remington 788 in 22-250 in 1968 for $67. You could buy Remington 700s and 870s all day for under $100. Winchester 94s or Marlin 336s were around $79.

Lots of good stuff back there, but there's a bit now too, not nearly as much, but some. When I was a little kid in the sixties there was no huntable population of whitetail in my part of Oklahoma. Now on a cold morning I can sit ninety steps from my house watch them. Every now and then one I like goes home with me. I sure did wish I could find some 215M's though.

Some things that I still have on my loading bench. Most of the older stuff has been used up.
I still rember when a hundred primers hit a buck. I started buying them by the brick for $9,00 no way I was going to pay a buck a hundred.

I didn't start reloading until around 1967/68…….those prices sound about right!
I know that in the early '70's, I was casting bullets for 38 Special (148 grain WC), and loading 50 rounds with a small dose of Bullseye, for less the price of a box of 22 LR's.
The wheel weights were free, and components were pretty darn cheap. Of course that's about the same time that I brought home my first paycheck of $100 for a 40 hour week. Buying a home and supporting a young family on $100/wk didn't leave much for the shooting sports…..no matter how cheap they were! memtb
Speaking of automotive, in 1975 when I returned from Alaska I bought a new 74 Chevy pickup V8, can't remember engine size. 4x4 for $1300.00. Paid cash. Still had money I never spent from spending the last year in the service on a island on the Aleutian, no where to spend it. Except for a serious stereo system bought from Japan and shipped to my mothers house in Alabama. Nice to know pilots who flew to far east.
Bought a brand new 1974 Toyota Landcruiser with 4-speed manual for $4,200 bucks. Window sticker was $4,500 and all they took off was about $300 bucks. Jeep CJ-5's were only $3,200 in 1974 but, they actually not quite as tuff as that FJ-40. Ole Jimmy Carter was in the White House, gas was only bout , 50 cents a gallon, with 4.11 gearD axles, 13mpg was about it.
I bought my 1967 Camaro SS 396 L78 for $3425. Still have it. Good gosh almighty, I miss those days!

I still have a few 5 gallon pails of the old wheel weights, I owned a garage and would never use them over I had too many comebacks after selling a set of tires
