So chalk up some of the expenses to the increased cost for transportation which too often is omitted from the equation.
And of course another unmentioned expense is the cost of membership & fees for gun clubs and shooting ranges.
When those are factored in and averaged out per shot the costs can be astronomical.
And that's not even including the cost of the gun[s].
In the end a hamburger probably costs much less than firing a single shot from a C&B revolver.

Damn........ You mean the $150 I've spent on gas so far to come to this Texas match (Raid on Ft Parker) just added a dollar to the cost of each pistol round and some shotgun rounds I'm gonna fire ? ? Then another $150 for the trip home will jack the cost of my rifle and the rest of the shotgun rounds up a dollar too? ? ?  
Well, I'm here now. might as well enjoy myself and try not to think about the cost .  ...................
Yeah......like It was gonna bother me 
If you want to figure out your costt per round, here is one of many cost calculators you can find on the web that will do it for you. Just plug in your price for components and go.
