I switched to black powder 2 years ago because of the cost of shooting cartridge arms.
It was just a matter of speed. If I take a cartridge gun to the range and spend the afternoon shooting, that's 200 round easy.
With my BP gun I can shoot the same amount of time but consume a lot fewer shots. Plus with my BP guns I usually reclaim my lead in my bullet bucket. The bullet is half the cost of the shot.
