CalvinCDixon Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I am new to reloading. How many rounds will 1 lb of powder make 9mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raydee38 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 One pound of powder has 7000gr, divide 7000 by the number of grains in your load and that will give you the rounds per pound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Yup, just like Raydee says. For me, I use TiteGroup powder and use just shy of 4.0gr to load 124gr 9mm bullets. So, 7000gr in 1 lb divided by 4.0gr = 1,750 rounds per pound of powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddc Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Yeah, it really depends on the powder/bullet/etc. Typical load range for 9mm is very roughly anywhere from a little less than 3 grains on up to about 7 or 8 grains for "normal" loads and if you are talking 9mm major then more than that. So there can easily be a 3 to 1 difference in how many rounds you might get out of a pound depending upon which two powders you are comparing.

Sarge Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Ah, I remember those days. A pound of WAC only yields 898 rounds of 9MAJOR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 4.7 g of CFE pistol so I can get about 1,489 rounds. I say about because your press does not always drop exactly the same every time. You can do a lot to tune up your press but you’ll see variations of * - .1 g and over a 1,000 rounds that adds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Depends on the charge weight. But there is still only 7,000 grains per pound. And Dillon powder measures usually throw +/- .1 grains for sugar powders, and more for corn flake powders. Powder is still the cheapest part of reloading components.

Bakerjd Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 1lb of ramshot comp makes 2k rounds of 9 minor for me. 1lb of WAC makes about 1025 rounds of 9 major for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
