Never did that. My meager allowance plus bricks of .22s for holidays & birthdays covered my ammo needs. By the way, back in the '40s even New York city schools had .22 rifle teams and matches between schools. They used paper targets, today's kids wouldn't understand paper targets (too tame in these days of drive by's I guess).
My Remington 513T was a birthday present for my 9th bd back in 1943. A real tackdriver. I have another one currently, bought to educate grandkids in the art of lead flinging. My original gun went on trade for a P-38 back in 1955.
