Just some need to know info on trying to estimate how much powder for # of loads... So for 300 cartridges of M1 Garand (30-06) using 168 gr hornady BTHP with 45 grains of IMR 4895 will require 2lbs/2 (1lbs) bottles of the stuff.

Re: Conversion table (Loads per pound of powder)
good quick chart.
if any newbie wants to know the formula, there is 7,000 grains of powder in a # of powder. divide 7,000 by the load charge weight and you can see how many rounds per # of powder.

You are right on the money...I used almost exactly 2lbs(give or take a few rounds) of h4895 to load 300 rounds of 30-06 using 168gr smk's with a 46gr load.
