Talking to Moma today she said that we have to cut back on some things & one of them is possibly my shooting
Cost of shooting Black powder.
Pietta 58’ NMA either 8’ barrel or 5.5” barrel, These would be mid to hot loads.
Shooting 35gr charge of FFFG Goex & .457 143gr. Ball 192 rounds.
Lead = $2.00 for 4lb.
Caps = $10.00 for 2 tins of 100.
Powder = $15.00 for 1lb can. “This could yield 200 shots with 35gr. Charges”
Bore Butter = $7.00 for a tube “this could yield 400-500 shots”
$30.50 for 192 shots which translates to $.16 per shot…
Shooting 30gr. Charge of FFFG Goex & .456 220gr. Bullet 200 rounds.
Lead = $3.13 for 6.25lb.
Caps = $10.00 for 2 tins of 100.
Powder = $15.00 for 1lb can. “This could yield 200 shots with 35gr. Charges”
Bore Butter = $7.00 for a tube “this could yield 400-500 shots”
$31.63 for 200 shots which translates to $.17 per shot…
Shooting 30gr by volume charge of Pyrodex P & .457 143gr. Ball 280 rounds.
Lead = $3.00 for 6lb.
Caps = $15.00 for 3 tins of 100.
Powder = $17.00 for 1lb can. “This could yield 280 shots with 30gr. Charges”
Bore Butter = $7.00 for a tube “this could yield 400-500 shots”
$38.50 for 280 shots which translates to $.14 per shot…
I'll get to figuring up what it cost me on my Bobcat with 777 in a moment but thought:
Have any one else figured up their expence of shooting our toys, to me it's priceless but to Moma it's a $$$ thing & if any one has figured it up what have you come up with in the $$$ amount for your enjoyment.
