I knew a "500" S&W was good for something...

That is why I say a guy with one, should be reloading. With revolvers,
recovering the brass is not even hard.
It's a buck and a half a shot with factory loads. What's you guess about
reloading, assuming you recycled the brass a few times and were buying
readymade bullets?
You will run into the same issue with bullets as Tim was referencing,
small production runs but a buck a pop would not surprise me for a
performance bullet. Cast bullets should be a lot cheaper., maybe 30-40
cents, way less if you cast your own.. Primers and powder are pennies
a shot.
These hand cannons remind me of the chopper (motorcycles) that were
popular in the 70s. When I questioned the tiny gas tank, the guy said
"if you go that far you will want to get off anyway".
I doubt anyone is going to shoot a lot of full power loads.
I looked a little and there are some "cowboy" loads that push out
subsonic cast bullets and should shoot fairly easy.
The full power load is at least 3-4 times the energy.
If you are into pistols like these, you are probably in to reloading.
Developing loads, etc.
