How times have changed !

Just about to open a new tin of Bullseye pistol powder from my stash and I noticed the original price tag. $35 !

It's been a few years since I bought any projectiles or powder.

I stocked up with a few hundred rounds before covid, and hunt a few times a year, so not burning through them at the range or anything.

I suspect I'm in for a rude shock when I visit a store next in the future :lol:

When I first started hand loading AccuBonds they worked out to be about $1.50 per cartridge.

Now they're about $3 per projectile.

Sigh.

I have 4 boxes of seirra pills at $5 odd and some other goodies as well.
I would rather be young and just hand over the dosh for stuff than be as old as I am and remembering the prices of yesteryear.
