I shoot BP for the cost savings.
Shooting my muzzle loading rifles with 400-500 grain bullets costs about $.30 a shot. So it's not particularly cheaper per shot compared with modern guns.
But it's a lot slower. So you shoot less ammo.
I can go to the range and spend the entire afternoon there shooting 100-200 rounds of ammo. $30-$60 bucks. If I shoot into my Bullet Bucket and catch my lead, half that.
If I go shooting with modern guns for the entire afternoon I'll probably shoot 500 rounds easy. Now with my reloaded .45 ACP that's only $45. But for any other caliber it would cost me.
