Not so much a hijack, as an object lesson.

All prices from http://www.gibrass.com/, quantity for 100 rounds. (Except powder, which is an 8 pound jug; ~240 rounds' worth)
$0.50 Bullets: 695 gr. FMJBT
$0.30 Primers: CCI #35
$0.24 Powder: WC860 pull-down, 235 gr.
$1.04 per reload; brass is ~$0.70 each, but I don't have the experience to know about the case life.
It's a pricey hobby no matter which way you do it. Still nothing like burning ammo with a (full-automatic) M2, though.
$0.11 90gr of Goex FFF black powder
$0.05 Remmington 11 primer cap
$0.09 220gr .54 cal lead ball
------
$0.25 per shot
And initial cost is waaay less than cartridge shooting.
sure it's more of a "past time" than testosterone driven plinking. But you do learn patience, accuracy, and diligence especially when hunting with black powder.
