Yeah I pulled out a brick of large magnum rifle primers last week 32 dollars was the price on the box and they aren't really that old maybe 10 years and I'm being generous

I paid $32.00 3 yrs ago for Fed215M.
I still have some supplies from the mid to late 80's . Good Old Days.

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.

Towards the end of his presidency interest rates were in the high twenties. I'm sure he thanks Biden for getting him off the hook for the worst president in modern times in terms of economy and respect. He was good to the firearm industry and hunters.

I pumped gas in 1971 at my second job. Full service for .20 a gallon. Gosh almighty I miss those days. But then again, I was making a whopping $1.61 an hour. I was rich!

I also remember the oil embargo of 1973 and the energy crisis. The world was going to run out of fossil fuels in ten years. The government told us so.
