Yup. Even the venerable 30-30 ain't so cheap any more. $1.30 a round for the cheap stuff. I can load sierra pro-hunters (150 or 170) for about 53 cents. Next batch of powder might bring that closer to 60 cents.
My first rifle was a 30-30. I could get a box of Remington cor-lokt's for less than five bucks.
Them were the days.
And something a kid will cherish and respect is never spoiling, it's nurturing.
