It wasn’t that long ago .380 was two dollars a round.

When I wore a younger man’s clothes, we used to get .22 long rifle for a penny a round.

Revelation Brand, at Western Auto.

LR was 49 cents per box of 50.

Shorts were 47 cents.

And I was aged 12 to 14, and purchased them, no questions asked.

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.
