Default cost per load are pellets worth the money

I have been thinking as to which to use. Of course there are issues that differ opinion to opinion. But there are issues that are 100 facts. One fact is cost. How much does it really cost per load of each. The guy at gander said a few cent. He is way off. I finally figured it out. My math is not always right so if you figure it different feel free to correct me. I used 777 as thats what i bought. 24.99 each for both powder and a box of 100 pellets. I figured it out as 2.3 times as much for pellets per shot then loose powder. I used a 150 grain shot for each. A shot of loose figures to .32 cent per shot and 74 cents per shot of pellets. Are pellets really worth 2.3 times as much money. I guess that comes down to weather or not your target shooting 30 rounds a session or just hunting shooting 30 times a year maybe. I bought loose as i will be shooting alot to sight the gun in and get good with a muzzle loader before hitting the woods.
What do you think is my math right There is an attachment with the math i figured out
