Particularly with .22 rimfire ammo. A .22 failing to fire was practically unheard of in the '50s and '60s.
On the other hand, .22 ammo was less affordable, few people bought it by the brick.
There's high quality rimfire ammo still availabe, but you have to pay for it. I buy Wolf MT at about $50/brick because it's like the good old days .22 ammo at a price that good old days ammo would cost if you factored inflation.
I miss paper shotshells, there's nothing like the unique smell of a paper shotshell being ejected from a break open shotgun.
