In the past, have loaded the .270 field rounds I needed fifty at a time.
A pound of powder lasted awhile.
Have added a 6.5x55, which will be, after harvesting the PPU brass, a hand-load only proposition.
Will likely step up the .270 reloading as well.
Need ~ 8 lbs total of the same powder for both cartridges, but the reloading will be protracted over quite some time.
Economy would dictate an 8-Lb jug. But 1-lb bottles are in the budget if it is better for the powder.
How is the shelf-life of Rifle Powder (IMR 4831/4350) affected after the container is opened?
TIA.
