I was cleaning up and reorganizing my reloading / gun room and was going thru some old ammo cans.

I'd guess most of this stuff is between 10 and 15 years old.

My, prices sure have changed.

Each of the one pound jugs of powder were $14.95. The Winchester rat shot is the metal crimped stuff, $4.95 for a 50 round box. I never see this stuff anywhere anymore. The CCI rat shot was $2.50 for 20 rounds and the Stingers were $2.95 for 50 rounds.

What I can't get over is how much powder has risen and how hard it is to find. You can find primers and projectiles pretty easily, brass is not quite so easy, but still obtainable.

The price on primers isn't too bad, but projectiles have risen as much as powder, which has pretty much doubled in price when you can find it.
