Re: Black Powder
i did shoot daily it took me a while to burn through a pound.
they'res really no reason to have more than 3-4 pounds on hand at any time, unless you happen to have a magazine. it's not really something you want to have awhole lot of in your house.
a pound of powder is equal to 7000 grains, the average powder charge in a rifle is 70 grains.
that's about 100 shots per pound.
100 shots from a muzzleloader is a lot of work. it took me about an hour to deliver 10-12 well aimed shots.
and welcome to black powder shooting.
