I enjoy black powder for fun. For practical use I prefer modern guns. You can still cast your own bullets for modern firearms too, you just have to get new primers and reuse the brass

Yeah this is very true. It's not the same as being able to make all the componentts yourself. Plus most modern guns will not work if you use black powder rather than smokeless.

So in this instance you are just as reliant on the supply chain than if you just bought the bullets. But still a note worth making.

True. Though it is worth mentioning that some modern guns will work with black powder if they're a manual action as opposed to gas operated semis. Like shotguns, lever actions, and pump actions.
