I noticed in a post earlier that the only thing cheap about shooting Cap and Ball, was the price of the guns. I got to thinking about this and put some numbers together. I just bought a pound of 777. Shooting 25 grains, I estimate 280 shots per pound of powder. Grand total, balls, wads, caps and powder, I came up with $0.22 per shot. I know it costs me $0.40 per shot to shoot my Henry Rifle. 22 cents seems reasonable to me, unless you regularly shoot .22 cal, I haven't found many other calibers cheaper, anyone else want to chime in?
