Number of Load in Pound of Powder?

Be sure you got a pound can, too. Many now are somewhat less than a pound but look like a pound. Some are 14 oz, some are 12....kind of like the "shrinking volume" articles that Consumer Reports lists from time to time.

I ask that simple question on The High Road Forum because I thought that was why this Forum was started, To assist people in answering their questions.
Most of us don't know everything and have to ask questions. We are not as smart as people that have all the answers and know everything.
I do appreciate the individuals who took the time to give me the answer to my question.

Trail Boss comes to mind.:)
 
I think some of you are not being to nice!! He might have jest started to reload! I know from the sound that you all have an IQ that is over that of this man. But you'll do not use it! Ben
 
Yeah, but I'm probably not teh only member of the group here that didn't weigh anything in grains before I started reloading. 7000 gr per pound isn't one of the conversions they taught us in grade school.

I did know that 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon and 4 tablespoons = 1/4 cup. I've found those conversions come in handy when mixing 2-stroke gas one tank at a time...
 
Some of you guys are awfully brutal and unforgiving.

You all like to help or you wouldn't be here to begin with.

For those with a higher IQ who require a challenge: how many individual nuggets of extruded powder in a metric ton of 4064 when measured 1,832.02 miles from the equator of the 2nd planet orbiting our sun, at room temperature 923,510,010 years ago?

No, make that ball powder in Win760.

Hit that curveball.

No correct answer.

QUESTION: When loading IMR4064, what type chainsaw works best: electric or two-stroke gas?

Why would you want to make it harder by converting to ounces? Divide 7000 by the charge weight and you have your answer plain and simple.

Neither IMO, use a handsaw...

The electric saw can spark and ignite the powder and the gas saw can cause an explosion! Now look what you did, I'm scared now!!! :eek:

You're missing the point. It's not about 'converting' anything. The comment to which you are referring was regarding the lack of basic knowledge and the completion of simple division. This thread is getting scary.

I don't think I missed anything.

I'll learn one of these days.
 
7,000 grains per pound, not a difficult question to answer unless you are new to reloading. I have learned much about reloading here at THR, but never felt like an idiot for asking a question.

Hey, if you just don't want to help the guy out then don't answer. I remember several questions that Reloaderfred or RC answered that in retrospect were "dumb". Never once did I feel like their answer was condescending, and I appreciated the help. Keep coming back and separate the people who are willing to share their wealth of knowledge from those that feel better from telling you what you don't know.

The question was answered in minutes in posts 2 through 6. After that maybe a bit of (I assume) good natured ribbing.
