Ahh, yearning for the good old days. About 12 maybe 13 years ago there was a WW not far from my office that was closing. They where selling everything down to the fixtures in the store. I walked in as they where pulling pallet after pallet of ammo from the back room. Most of it was shotgun and rifle ammo. I picked up a few cases of 12 and 20 guage in various lengths and shot sizes both lead and steel. Then someone pulled out a pallet with Federal Gold Medal Match 308 168 gr. I bought all 500 boxes for $1.68 per box. I used most of it as plinking ammo, though about 2000 rounds still reside in the ammo safe. Most of the people I shoot with thought I was crazy for shooting high $ ammo at tin cans, stumps, golf balls and other informal targets. Now the same ammo runs average retail about $1.25 per round. I wasn't hourding, I bought for long term use at a price that I knew I would never see again.
