Ammo per pound...
« on: January 23, 2010, 02:37:08 PM »
Hello all.  I am considering getting into reloading.  I am checking on prices and such.  Approx how many rounds of .45 acp can you load w/ some common powders per pound of powder?

According to www.ask.com one pound equals 7000 grains. That should give you something to go on as you look up different loads for each powder.
