Hodgdon 1 lb powder container weight

[sm]

So I was wondering the other day about the empty weight of a Hodgdon one pound powder container (with and without the lid).
56 grams without lid
62 grams with lid

Hope this helps someone so they dont have to dump out the contents. Gives you a good idea if you have enough powder to load X amount of rounds.

Just for my curiosity, the 1lb or 8lbs weight is the gross weight including the container and lid, not just the powder weight?

I recently bought a bunch of 1 lb (supposedly, but don't know for sure) jars of Titegroup and there is no weight reference markings at all on any of the containers or labels. I wanted an 8 lb'er but the LGS had none & says might be 2 years before we see any.

Pour it all together and mix it up, then put it back into your original jugs. You will have one large, consistent lot.

No, this isn't dangerous. Maybe if you mix it with a different designated powder.

"Net" and "Gross" tells it all. "Tare" just to keep it all together.

Thanks OP! I was thinking about it just yesterday, sorting containers!

...and really easy to remember - almost exactly like 55/62 grains as in 223/5.56 bullet weight.

Don’t be afraid to weigh your purchase before you leave with it. Supply chain skimming is alive and well in the Covid era of short supplies .
