[ARCHIVED THREAD] - A Few Reloads

I just finished up an 8 pound container of Winchester 231 powder, along with the 1 pound can I transfer it to and keep on the bench.

I did a little math. Nine pounds at 7,000 grains per pound, equals 63,000 grains.

If I use an average of 5 grains per round, that is 12,600 rounds of ammo.

And that's only one of the powders I use.

Somebody has been doing a lot of shooting.

Start reloading for a 7mm Remington Magnum if you want to watch powder disappear. At 80grs per shot, I only get 700 rounds per keg.
I can't imagine how fast powder disappears for those who shoot .50 BMG.

Someone has REALLY been shooting a lot!

You're a very lucky guy, O_P!

What machine are you using? I used to have a Dillon Square Deal that I'd load my .45's and .357's on, but I could only spit out about 500 rds/hour.

You need to shoot bigger guns.

210 grains per round would only give you 300 50 BMG rounds.

Or a little shooting over a LOOOONG time. How old is that can?
