Is that cheap? I have no idea.

But a year ago we had a widow woman as a table partner. Her deceased husband liked guns. All kinds of guns. He's been gone maybe 7 years now. So she was finally starting to sell off her excess junk. She brought in all manner of ammo to sell. Then on some of it she was higher than current retail, and cheap on others. After about the 8th gun show with no interest she was getting discouraged. Ammo is heavy and lugging it in and out gets old. She finally sold me all her 22 magnum for $5 a box she still had 2 bricks of 22 shorts. She sold them to me for $5 each, too. I tried to argue, but she was tired of hauling it.

And I guess that means I paid $.50 a box for it. I have no idea what to do with it or all the BB and CB caps I've picked up over the years. I'm thinking I need an ancient single shot rifle to burn it in. Either that or see if my son is successful in his search for a lever action.
