    9mm Reload powder question


    I ordered my press and everything for reloading today and I am starting to look into how much powder and bullets and primers to buy, I was going to try to buy everything in lots of 1000. I have about 300-400 brass right now so I was thinking that would be a decent inventory to get to have enough to reload twice then make another order for a thousand of everything again. This leads me into my question for everyone, about how much powder do I need to load 1000 rounds? I have been looking around online and haven't really found the answer and messed with the reloading calculator and tried to crunch numbers myself but the numbers don't seem right so why not ask someone who has reloaded 9mm Thanks in advance guys I don't know if I need to plan on getting 5 pounds or more for 1000 rounds.

    Thanks!!!!!!! ( btw, everyone be prepared for more reloading questions they will probably come up quick now that I am starting to get all this stuff slowly but surely )

    We have a few reloaders...

    I'm not a reloader, but I might start with smaller amounts in case you change your mind about something... That way you won't get stuck with a 1,000 rounds of something you don't like...

    There are 5000 grains of powder to a pound. I have loaded 9MM for several years & like to load smaller rounds till I find a load That I like for accuracy, etc.
    I have tried lots of different Powders & found that my Glock 19 Likes Ramshot Silloute powder better than anything I tried. I hope you enjoy reloading
    as much as I do & good Luck.

    There are other considerations when making a determination as to how much makes how many.

    You need to factor in the count of the primers and the gunpowder along with the sabots.

    I believe primers can be had by the thousand sleeve and powder starts at 1 lb and goes up.


    If you really get to enjoying the reloading hobby 1,000 of any one is not a bad thing, now thousands of all of them, well, now your talking reloading ...



    Welcome to the site and if you have any questions please ask.

    okay thanks guys 5000 grains to a pounds so that means a pound should get the thousand.. I was just curious on it all, i will probably buy small of everything to get going, last night I was wondering about it all and wanted to see how much it would cost me to reload 1,000.. Now i get to figure out what powder and everything to get! Woo Hoo!!!!!!

    Oh and to brag about MidwayUSA, I ordered the press yesterday about 4pm from. Got to my Door at 1:58 today!!!!!!! I am pretty close to Columbia MO but I didn't think it would get here that fast

    I dont mean to step on anyone's toes, but just a slight correction is needed. There 7000 grains to a pound, which is more than plenty to load 1000 rounds.
    Don't retreat! Reload!!!

    Good for you for taking the reloading plunge. I really enjoy reloading.... it's really neck and neck with shooting for me. The best advise I received upon beginning to reload, was buy a couple of reloading manuals. Please DO NOT rely on the internet for reloading data. I have a current Lyman reloading manual and a Speers manual from the early 1960's. And don't worry too much about your first orders... if you're anything like me, you'll end up with a dozen different powders before too long! Lately I've been playing with Vihitvatouri powders. They're expensive and I can't tell any difference but the name is soooo cool!

    I guess it was to Early for the ole Brain even when I knew the answer was 7000 Grains to a pound, Sorry for the error.
