Cheap .22 ammo - from the past

[chief38]

I've got three unopened bricks of VINTAGE .22's from the early to mid 60's I believe. Two are Remington and are in a lighter Seafoam Green and white box with red highlights and a brick of Winchester in a yellow box. The ammo was bought by my Dad and two are marked $6.99 / Brick while the Winchesters are unmarked. I am not planning on shooting them, but I would bet they will work just fine if needed.

Bullets! Ammo! I love `em ! No matter what they cost or caliber.

It's not $0.89, but I was still buying 50 rds of Federal Lightning for $1.47 in late 2012 at Walmart.

I think the relative cost of ammo reached it lowest level in the late 90's to mid 2000s.

I remember picking up drink bottles and selling them for ammo money -- on a good day 22LR for the old Remington -- on a normal day, a small pack of BBs for the Daisy...
