Why do they sell 1 pound jugs of H50BMG powder? That's less than 30 rounds worth...

I guess so someone can try the powder first before committing to an 8lb or bigger keg.

I have wondered the same thing  - but I was too afraid to ask

This would be my guess also.

Everyone knows it's a really good .50 BMG powder, why would you order just one jug?

Some distributors only sell 1lb jugs, you cant buy anything in 8lb at my local Bass Pro for insistence, so if you need some H50BMG now it's 1lb or nothing.

I have a lot of the 1 lb H50 BMG powder containers. Last year when I was buying powder, It was all I could get. I do now have a bunch of the 8 lb jugs though. $165 + Hazmat fee is hard to swallow sometimes so when your local Sportsmans Warehouse has the 1 lb jugs for $23.00, you buy them.

When you load 50 cal, or at least when I load, I only load 30 rounds at a time anyway. The only downside to the 1 lb jugs though is, different lot numbers.

I did use one of my empty 1 lb US869 containers, drilled a hole in the lid and I stuck the Primer expended tube into it for a primer catch can on my Hornady L-N-L AP press.

How often do you shoot 250 rounds of 50 BMG?
