it all depends on how much gunpowder you user per shell. using hodgon universal i used 5 grains for a 230grain bullet for 45 acp. there is 7000 grains in a lb, so that's 1400 rounds for a 1 lb bottle.

i assume you only have the press and nothing else?

along with the press you will need;

dies
digital caliper
a good scale
a loading block
a reloading manual
a couple of acro bins for organization
and lots of time!!

Good Luck
