I found this a few months ago, gives you an idea of how many rounds per lb you can get. http://www.reloadbench.com/gloss/grain.html

My 50 BMG is off the chart!

225gr per charge.
31 rounds per pound.

I guess that is why it is $5 + per round even if you have your own brass

I bought mine when it was $28 per 8lbs.
Still using that.
Also using the 20 cent pulled ball projectiles and the 4 cent primers.
I'm loading 50BMG ball ammo at 36 cents a round.
About what people pay for new 223 ammo...

Back in those days, it was costing me 7 cents a round to load 223 ammo.
Now it's almost 12 cents a round.
