My dad bought 500 45 caliber bullets and about 1000 brass and primers. We were wondering how many rounds 1lb. of Unique will load so he would know how much to buy.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thanks, good to know.7000/(charge weight). That'll get you how many rounds per pound of powder. Any pound of powder.
There are 7000 grains per pound.
We were wondering how many rounds 1lb. of Unique will load so he would know how much to buy.
We are new to reloading and used most of our capital on equipment. He is on Social Security and I am in high school so it will take awhile before we will be able to order powder in large quantities.I suggest you buy all you can find. I haven't been able to find any for a long time, but I buy in the maximum quantity that can be shipped to me, so I'm still good for a while.
I'm not sure I understand. Could you elaborate?I suggest you do a lot more reading about reloading, before another simple calculation gets you in hot water.
My dad is loading ACP and I was asking for him. Sorry for the confusion.45-70?....Everyone was falsely assuming you were loading .45ACP.
If you want to save money, buy Bullseye next time. It is more economical and will produce quality loads.
Unique is not as economical as some other powders, but it is easy to see if you've accidentally double charged a case. I think its an excellent powder for a new reloader.
I don't want to start an argument, but buying and using a a bulkier powder than Bullseye is a smarter move for a beginner.
