The inflation rate from 1998 to 2023, 25 years, is 1.86. So for those that remember buying a brick on sale now and then for $20, in todays Biden bills that’s $37.20 ori 7.4 cents.
When I wore a younger man’s clothes, we used to get .22 long rifle for a penny a round.

That’s what I remember paying when I was a lad back in the mid 50s. Also bought .22 bird shot for popping snake’s heads in the water. Less chance for ricochet off the water plus more likely hood of hitting the head.
