Foxbat Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) I noticed it long ago... you take a pound of powder, and you load 7.0 grains into each case... the calculation tells you it should make 1000 cases. The reality claims you will get maybe 850. What gives??? Noticed this with more than one powder. Edited April 22, 2015 by Foxbat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximis228 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) My guess is the container is counted towards the total weight. Edited April 22, 2015 by Maximis228 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDA Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I have found the opposite and that one pound was very accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njl Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Some gets spilled here and there, but 15% loss seems like way to much to explain that way. Some powders, the "1 lb" size is actually only 14oz (Clays is one of these). That would get you 875 rounds from the bottle. That seems close to explaining what you're talking about.

That seems close, indeed. I just bought some 1lb cans, so will run an accurate test. The scale is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1gcountry Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Ditto. A lot of the 1lb bottles are 14oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Ditto. A lot of the 1lb bottles are 14oz. Looked at the bottle - says 1lb Net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
