[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 5057769, member: 12277"] I always consider shots/pound when choosing powders for handgun or plinking rounds like the 32-20. Like to stay well under 7 grains if at all possible to get above the 1000 shots/pound mark. But same as you guys I've never recorded the total number of shots from an individual pound of powder to see how close it works out. Usually I'm using Red Dot or Unique and using from 8 lb cans anyhow plus loading for different cartridges intermingled together. Even when i was loading 500 shotshells a week I was using 16 or 18 grains of Red Dot but working from 8 lb cans so don't know how many shots i actually got out of a pound. The number of shots from a 25lb bag of shot did work out right about on the money though. You get 355 shots per bag using the standard 1 1/8 ounces of shot and that's why I switched to 1 ounce loads to get 400 shots. Nearly 2 more boxes of shells at zero increased cost for shot. :) [/QUOTE]
