[QUOTE="kfd518, post: 2769786, member: 125515"] On the same token reflecting on these prices, don’t forget inflation over time compared to what some of this stuff cost back then. Using 1965 as a reference there is an 850+/- % inflation. The federal minimum wage was also $1.25 which would be roughly $11.87 today. Not saying it wasn’t cheaper, because even when I started hand loading in 2008 things were much cheaper. Even though I found it to be quite expensive still but still a lot less than readymade ammunition. I’m not sure when the last time I bought anything but rimfire and carry ammunition at the store was.
