This is kind of a dumb question but how many 223 rounds can be loaded with a pound of powder? I know if will depend on how much each case is charged but just a general idea will suffice. Thanks Gary

so say 25 grn chrg. weight

7000/25= 280 rnds.

edited for content. AeroE do more research on reloading. That information is considered Reloading 101. Reloading is done in baby sets, you do not go from grade school to grad school with out some effort.
