If you find a box of .30 cal bullets from 25 years ago in the back of a drawer, don't look at the price. It'll take you days to get over the shock.
Wow!!!!

Now I'm curious. I have around 500 rounds that are at least 25 years old and no price on the boxes. Do tell..

I have an old Hodgdon load book that is 4 or 6 pages long where IMR4895 can be had at $0.10/pound.
Gun powder that was is worth 150 times as much as 45 years ago is 11% compounded.
A pre ban AR15 bought in 1993 for $500 is worth $1200 today.
That is 6% compounded.
Money I put in the stock market 13 years ago is now worth 20 times as much. That is 26% compounded.
Google stock was $100 three and a half years ago. It is $704 today.
That is 74% compounded.
What does it all mean?
You should diversify your investments, beyond the commodities stored in your basement, to include growth companies.

Yeah, and I once passed up a pristine Winchester 94, made in 1954, because it was too much money. Who'd ever pay $45.00 for .30-30??? My first M1 Carbine was $20.00, delivered, through the NRA in 1963, but I was only making $1.35 an hour then, too.........

I have a 1912 commercial butcher book that shows you how to price your cuts of meat, starting at $0.03 a Lb.
I bought my first rifle in 1960, Win M70 30-06 for $74.99
Have 1960's empty Hornady 100 count bullet boxes for $2.87 - $3.88
My first Sweedish Mauser 6.5X55 was under $10
And all that stuff and more was purchased as a teenager with money from lawn mowing, leaf raking and snow shoveling.
