I wonder what a gallon of gas cost when I bought this?
Primers and powder that pre date me by several years. Used this today to load some .410 shells. Not alot, but just enough to learn that I never want to reload .410 agian.
4lbs in '75
$1.50 for primers
Taking a break from social media.
I found these relics while cleaning the garage. I also saw some primers marked at $21.50 a thousand, five pounds of Unique I hadn’t put with the others yet, and a pound of 748 priced at $26.50.
I have a couple of containers of IMR 3031 and a partial container of Hercules 2400. I purchased them at Big Buck Sports , a full service firearm and sporting good store in Hattiesburg, MS around 1992.
I've used the 3031 several years ago experimenting with home cast and powder coated rounds for 7.62x39.
I loaded some 158 gr jacketed .357 rounds with the 2400 about 2 years ago.
The price on the 2400's "Big Buck" sticker is faded. The 3031 looks to be $16.95. I wish I had more of this...
Gasoline was around $1.15-$1.25/gal iirc

I want to say mid-late '80s was about $10/pound.

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
My 11-yo grandson is staying with us while he goes to a local theatre camp.
When I went to pick him up yesterday, they had three pick up spots designated by a sign with the picture of an object. One had a fax machine and another a cassette deck.
I heard a counselor with a bullhorn say something like “Susie, go to the tape recorder.”
When another one passed by my open window, I had to ask “Do you really expect the parents, much less the kids, to know what those things are?”
Found this in a built in, in our temp furnished living quarters.
