Those are circa 1960’s to early 70’s.I wish this old box of $3.35 308s could talk! Gramps has been gone 26 years this november, and im sure these were old when he passed.

Gouge'ingly...How do these prices adjust for inflation?
Had a small town smith do some work for me. It was a relatively inexpensive labor and material item so I told him to add a box of Wby Mag Select 100g TTSX .257 that I noticed on the shelf to the bag. Coughed a little, signed the cc charge, and walked out. The ammo was 95 bucks.
The first rule of gun club is you don't talk about gun club...Rounded shoulders means premium prices, cowboy.
I'd rather pay the extra to my gun club for components than a box store. My gun club feeds my habitat much better than any store.
I've got some boxes like this from the 70's, 60's & 80's. That bucket of bullets had about a 10-15% failure to fire rate for me. Same with the cheap federals. Cheap is relative, I guess. I still buy the CCI mini mags or stingers instead of the bulk packs. More accurate, more consistent and fewer FTF's. I also shoot like I'm Scrooge these days. one lump of ammo per day, no more, less is preferred.

What's a gun club?
When I cleaned out my dad's place a couple of years ago my old Ruger Mkii 678 came back to me. I had bought it 1984 then given it to my dad. $140 NIB in 1984. Along with it were several bulk boxes of Federal and Remington "Golden Bullets". $5.50 for 550 on the Federals, I couldn't find a price tag on the Remington box.Rounded shoulders means premium prices, cowboy.
