Number of shots per pound?

[Rebelboy]

Im very new to reloading and plan on getting my first reloading kit this week. I was wondering how many rounds i can get out of a pound of powder? Ill be loading a .270 win, probably with 130 gr bullets.

depends on the powder, but I'm guessing 50-55 grns on average per charge,, then use this chart,,handy to have

There are 7000 grains in a pound, so just divide 7,000 by the charge weight of your case. That will give you the number of shots per pound.
