Newbie Powder Question

[Rzeancak]

HI Guys & Gals,

I'm in the process of putting a order to Budget Shooters Supply.

So here's what I have in my shopping cart:

2 x Sierra 30c(.308)155gr PALMA HPBT BULLET MATCHKING 100/bx


1 x Hodgdon VARGET 1lb Smokeless Powder


1 x Hodgdon H4895 8lb Smokeless Powder KEG (budget shooters supply only have 8lb in stock )


1 x CCI PRIMER 200 LARGE RIFLE 1000/box

Now my question is how many rounds can a 1lb of powder load? ( I'm guessing if I was to multiply the answer by 8 to get the 8lb results)

My recipe from my reloading book calls for 44.4 gr of the H4895 powder.

The rifle: Rem 700 XCR LRT (.308)
Brass: Norma 308 Winchester

thanks

7000 gr in a lbs.

Div approx 45-46 (charge) gr per round by 7000

That correct x 8 if an 8 lb er.

7000/44.8 x 8 = 1250
Probably more like 1200
