Your advice on 40 cal rings true. Just visited Cabelas website and they are asking $50 for a can of Goex! A 70 gn charge is .50 cents per shot alone. A Hornady 54 ball is .25. Wow, 75 cents for powder and ball alone. Gonna contact Hill Folk for their pricing! Pyrodex RS for a percussion gun is $35 and add a cap it is the same. These numbers are more likely to cancel the build than anything. I cast so once the ball size is confirmed that drops at least.

Most gun shows there is someone there selling BP for under 30 a pound. The Sherwood Park BP shoot has a fellow there every time, can never remember his name, last powder was $24. A good target load for the 40 cal will be 35-45 grains so even at 45 grains, less than 20 cents a shot.
