Hi Sam and welcome. Approximately 1,489 rounds per lb or approximately 12,000rds with 8lbs. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
Hi Sam, one pound of powder has 7000gr, divide 7000 by the number of grains in your load and that will give you the rounds per pound. it really depends on the powder/bullet/etc. Typical load range for 9mm is very roughly anywhere from a little less than 3 grains on up to about 7 or 8 grains for "normal" loads and if you are talking 9mm major then more than that. So there can easily be a 3 to 1 difference in how many rounds you might get out of a pound depending upon which two powders you are comparing. Stay safe & have a great day!
