calculating rounds per pound

[colt 357]

Just a quick question on calculating how many rounds you can get out of a pound of powder. I think it is 7,000 grains per pound divided by how many grains you are putting in the round you are doing. Then times how many pounds of podwer you have. Is that right.
Now is all powder the same with 7,000 grains per pound or do different powders use a different numbers think this is right but wanted to see if what I was thinking is right. Thanks

You got it right. 7000 grains will alway equal one pound. However, watch out for the powders that are only 12 oz or 14 oz. in a can.

You are aware that that is not the count of grains, but a weight measurement that is always constant?

[P.K.]

I like to use this in a pinch, works well enough when you have a fixed ounce or grain count.

Better to ask and make sure than to have an accident.
