Gunslinger Metal Cartridge question

[Mr_Bearkitty]

Hey all,

I'm building a gunslinger for a campaign and I have a quick question. We're using advanced firearms and I know that they have to use metal cartridges.

If I'm to make them myself instead of buying them directly, what would the cost to me be? Any help on previous threads, or if someone could do the math for me, that'd be great.

Thanks in advance.

Per the Gunsmithing feat:

Crafting Ammunition: You can craft bullets, pellets, and black powder for a cost in raw materials equal to 10% of the price. If you have at least 1 rank in Craft (alchemy), you can craft alchemical cartridges for a cost in raw materials equal to half the price of the cartridge. At your GM's discretion, you can craft metal cartridges for a cost in raw materials equal to half the cost of the cartridge. Crafting bullets, black powder, or cartridges takes 1 day of work for every 1,000 gp of ammunition (minimum 1 day).

Thanks for pointing that out.

Ok the metal cartridge can hold bullets or pellets. So to use them do i need both fire arm bullets and metal cartridge or just the cartridge?
