Found some old gems

[Seabeeken]

You must be pretty young then. They were less than $4/k when I did

Started loading in 74. Turned 65 yesterday. They may have been less. Cant remember if they were .01 or half cent each back then. Been a while

I am sure they were much less then. I didnt start till 86 and they where under $4 then. I am 63, and I still think 65 is pretty young., because I think I am just a young pup with gray hair.

Dear gawd! I remember loading with my older brother and using Alcan in primers, powders and shotgun wads. Along with various Herters products.

When sportsman's warehouse moved in, they couldn't compete, then cabelas ended it for them, Taylor's has outlet stores around the state but I don't think they sell firearms anymore only sporting goods. They were about the only game in town for a lot of years
