I looked for the price when I started shooting,1957.Varies from gage to gage and load--$2.40 to $5.10 per box of 25 ( Stoeger #48 1957).My only bench marks--gas $.20/gal, Oldsmobile $2900, father,chest surgeon,$20,000; brick 3 bedroom house $20,000.Heck, I can not afford the good old days for volume shooting.
