PLUS 2 for Bryan Buck proprietor @ 3B Shooting Supply....
Over the counter 44/40 Cowboy ammo is close to $0.75-90 cents a round retail , 45 Cal. the same if you have add shipping your looking closer to a buck ..... that is expensive @ $120.00 + per match....
Still cheaper that Golf though
and more rewarding IMHO.
setting up to reload will pay off ...... 45 Colt is easier to reload than the thinner wall bottleneck 44/40
38 Cal. is about $0.18 -25 cents even less for reloads..... in fact cheap enough , it will stave off setting up to reloading a spell.
But setting up is fun and part of the experience, and there is something to be said , hearing your own home rolled rounds go bang.
Best
advice suggestion, buy your guns in same caliber.... go user friendly and economical to start out.
