Overpriced Reloading Components?

Guess I'm the only one that has had good luck with the 6mm. Lot of deer and elk have fallen to it in our family. My mom for the first time in her life went hunting with me this year. She killed 2 deer, she only used two shots.

I came across this receipt in a set of dies.
Original purchase in 1975

The press is still in use, I think my brother is still using some of the brass, but the bullets are long gone.

Along way from where prices are today

That looks a little high for a shell holder and dies. I was purchasing dies for standard calibers for $36 for quite a while, the shell holders that I remember were $4.95..

That price was for a rock chucker press, dies and shell holder.

NICE hand writing! Something we do not see as often anymore.

Wow!

If I take the ratio of what I earned hourly in 1975 (I was a Senior in H.S.) and compare it to what I make today....that invoice would be $6,036!!

So I guess I could say, for me at least, these are the good old days. LOL
