Re: Queens man arrested for huge stockpile of weapons including 17 guns, 225 pounds of gun powder and thousands rounds

225 pounds does sound like a lot of powder. But volume-wise I'd assume that it's really not that much. Let's say that it comes in boxes that are about 1ft x 1ft x 1ft (1 cubic foot) and each box weighs 45 pounds. That's just 5 boxes.

For reference, a cubic foot bag of cement weighs 80LBs.

so if he saw a really good deal on bulk gunpowder, maybe this is enough to last him a couple of years in the reloading room...

Surely someone who is a reloader can tell us about how many pounds they would go through in a year..
