Just Wondering

How much powder do you use in a year?

 

[MIRAMICHIER]

I just loaded for one gun (.223) this past year.So 1lb of powder and I kept a count of 280 rounds per pound.I just put an order in Yesterday at Higginson for 2lbs of H-4895 & 1lb Benchmark.Have fun

don't really know. i load for about twelve differen't calibres and try to buy powder when it comes avalable. i do know my primers are getting loa little low and i'm getting low on rel15. i just try to buy more than i use.

I try to stay well ahead on my supplies, because from time to time there are shortages of what I need.

I use about 20,000 primers a year and about 40 pounds of powder.

20-30lbs depending on what I'm shooting... Maybe more.

 

[LUTNIT]

Hard to say exactly but I'd guess 4-8lbs a year. I shoot a lot of cast though which have pistol sized powder charges a lot of the time.

 

[silen]

Not as much as I'd like..2-4 pounds (mostly pistol caliber though)

 

[Stevebot-7]

Not much. About 2 pounds or 2.5. I've been tempting the reloading gods by mixing lots to reduce empty space in each bottle, so I don't actually know exactly how much was in each one.

I just made about 100 rounds of 20ga and it took 1/2 pound

you can easily calculate how many rounds of your ammo can be made from on pound (pound/grains in a round)

 

[Cleftwynd]

I have only used 11 lbs this year, life really got in the way. Normally I burn up at least 20 lbs a year. It's not the powder that burns up my wallet though, it's projectiles.

So far this year I've used 9-10lbs, most of that has been H110.

 

[ultimate_monkey]

id say i average 8-10lbs a year..

this year has been rough.... between work and other obligations. well i think iv used 1/2 a lbs :/

but like most i stay well prepared.. i could run my 8-10lbs average for the next 4 years, and still have some left over. that includes primers and bullets to go alone with it
