We all know the crazy ridiculousness that is the metallic cartridge gun and ammo market now. 22s for $0.40 a shot, 9mm four to five times as expensive as it once was.
Well now is the time for black powders guys. Absolutely no issue finding components and the prices haven’t budged a bit. Still the same as pre COVID. Here’s a fine Kentucky rifle:
From an economics standpoint, one shot of a .45 Kentucky rifle cost about $0.35. This is half the going rate for a 9mm cartridge these days! And no surprise here the Kentucky rifle takes much longer to reload. A full day on the line can be shot for just a few dollars with a black powder. One can spend hours relaxing at the range and not drain the bank! In terms of time at the range vs money spent, it is EXPONENTIALLY cheaper!
Add the fun challenge, the smoke n’ fire, the BOOM, the smell of the gunpowder, and it’s incredibly fun too! You can get into the weeds and learn all about the history as well.
If anyone here is on the fence about black powder, NOW IS THE TIME TO EXPERIENCE THEM.
