    Keep in mind mine is 44-40 so load data is slightly different But 44mag is similar to load plinking loads for
    So i cast my own bullets and I get lead for free
    So projectiles are free
    I buy the cheapest large pistol primers possible normally around $7-8 per 100
    I use brass that was given to me so that’s free
    I use 7.5gn adi ap70n now we all know that adi is 500gm bottles so the ammunition is even just a touch cheaper than stated
    We all know a pound of powder is 7000gn
    If we long devide that by 7.5 we get 933 charges of powder per pound a few more from slightly larger adi bottles

    Not to bore you with anymore math
    This equates to
    $15 per 100 rounds
    Good quality 22 ammunition is more than that

    And the 44 lever action is more fun
    omegaspeedy and ebee like this.
