Number of Load in Pound of Powder?

7000 grains to a pound. The number of reloads depends on the powder charge.

7000 divided by your load in grains.

7000 grains to a pound. I guess it depends on the load.

A pound of powder is equal to 7000 grains. Divide the charge weight into 7000 and you have the number of rounds.

*EDIT*
WOW, I write an answer to an empty thread and when I post it there are already 3 other answers. I really have to learn to type faster! LOL

7000 / (grains per cartridge)

Example: 4 grains per round

7000 / 4 = 1750 cartridges per pound

Be sure you use ALL the formula for charges per pound.

7000 grains DIVIDED by grains per charge.
MINUS grains spilled on the floor.
PLUS grains spilled on the bench you can recover and put back in the can.
MINUS whatever the powder company short-changed you on the 7,000 grains to start with.

Leave it to RC to make it advanced algebra

RC forgot to MINUS out the dregs you leave in the bottle on your shelf for decades because it's not enough to adequately fill a powder measure.

Or MINUS the 6800 grains you leave in the bottle because you thought the next powder you bought would work better.

It's a sad state of affairs when an individual does not know the number of grains in an ounce and the number of ounces in a lb.

Well, there's this -

You can run it on line (if you have the Internet always connected, as some do) or you can download a version that runs locally.

Under the category "Mass and Weight", pick 1 pound [U.S. and british] on the L side and 1 grain [U.S. and british] on the R side, then click the "Convert" button.

After it tells you that 1 pound = 7000 grains, you are on your own to figure out that you have to divide by the weight of a single charge.

When I was much younger, we called these "gazinta" problems...

A real smart fellow once said, "Never waste time memorizing anything you can look up."

That smart fellow obviously didn't know Sister Aloysius Mary.

Ok, not trying to be rude. But this site is on the Internet. Instead of posting this topic. Why not go to google and type in "how many grains in a pound?". Instant answer.

I always subtract at least 50 rounds from the formula, for powder spillage and what-not.

I figure I'll get 200 rounds out of a pound of H-4895 in 223, at 25.3 grains/case.

Yeah, what are you trying to do? Be sociable or something? Neither one of us would have had to reply if you had only gone to Google!



(Sociable is a word, right?)

LOL

"Loads per lb of powder" is a remembered search in my smartphone.

My most used Google return http://www.reloadbench.com/gloss/grain.html

This internet thingy is great for coming up with all sorts of usefully information.

Minus the powder spewed all over the place when you forget to turn off the hopper on your Auto Disc before changing the discs...
