   How many 30-06 cartridges from 1 lb of powder

   I guarantee someone here knows the answer. Approximately how many rifle rounds can one reload from a 1 lb container of powder. ( Yes, I know that different powders take less and it also depends how many grains is used, etc...). I am asking for a ballpark figure.

   Let the arguments begin.

   7000 grains per pound. devide number of grains of powder in your load into 7000 and you'll get an exact answer.

   My Mosin takes about 42 gr of Varget fudge that up to about 45 for the '06 and we get 155. Somewhere in that neighborhood.

   Sounds like you know a lot about the subject ... just not the simple math needed to answer the question.

   That simple math is, 7000 divided by your powder charge.

   See ya ...

   I was going to say around 150 is what I usually get.

   I don't buy powder by the pound so I have no idea..

   If you load 7 grains of Bullseye with a soft, plain based, cast bullet for a subsonic small game, indoor gallery or plinking bullet (about 1050 fps), you can get 1000! And with velocity approximating .38 Special +P out of a 6" revolver and penetrating a full meter of clear ballistic gel, you can also do some serious low noise work with it. The Accurate bullet below was designed for reliable bolt and levergun feeding, good crush and maximum penetration without tumbling when driven subsonic from a ten-inch twist barrel and can be used in the 7.62x39, .30-30, 7.62x54R, .308 Win., .30-'06, etc. Loosely based on the old Modern Bond Whelen Small Game Bullet. Ideal for suppressor use.

    Lets say our average loading is 50 grains of A- 4064 powder with a 150 grain J-word bullet, we would get 140 loads per pound.

    If we were loading 13 grains of Red Dot and a cast 180 grain boolit , we would get 538 loads per pound.

    Probably a good "ballpark" number would be 150 loads to the pound using standard rifle powders.

    Trying to see how much money you going to save by reloading?

    I am with RFR on this, do they still sell 1 ponders. 1 Hazmat is good for up to 70 pounds per shipment.

    150 grain JSP bullet; 48.0gr of Win 748; 2810 fps. Using this data you could ball park around 145 rounds.

    The perennial "what If" question. As many boolit choices and loads, what if I loaded a hundred-eighty grain boolit with 7 grains of Unique? 1000 loads. "What If" I loaded 180 grain Nosler j bullets with 46.5 grains of 4895? 150 loads. Question is, what are you trying to do? You can't find the answer, until you figure out what you are attempting to do.

    Dang outpost.
    add a gas check to that and it'd be super similar to the rcbs 150gr rnfp 30-30 boolit I'm real fond of.
    I like that nose a bit better though.

    Best I can tell, OP, everyone here has an answer and quite likely all are correct. Why do you ask?

    There is a really neat Number Of Loads Per Pound Based On Powder Charge (in grains) visual table HERE

    For those of us who are somewhat mathematically challenged. It's also a fun reference tool to just look at sometimes.

    Those of us who load .50 bmg rounds, get a little less. I was using 254g's of 20n29 and got 27 to the pound. Now I'm using 225g's of H50bmg and get a whopping 31 to a pound.
