How much powder?

[Onesock]

How many pounds of powder does everyone keep on hand? How much for each gun you own and how much total?

My powder stash is larger than a bread box but smaller than a Davenport.

Depends on the time of year, use more during hunting season.

At only 70 shots per pound I don't have enough

I take it most of the respondents to this thread are either embarresed by the amount of powder they are hoarding or think it is no one elses business. It probably isnt anyones business I was just curious. So I take it from this most on here should quit whining about the powder shortage and quit hoarding f*&^€g powder and primers. No one needs hundred of pounds of powder. I would hate to see how much *** wipe you have!!!!

What I have is truly no one's business. The amount is up to perception, anyway. When there are firearms that shoot over 100 grains of powder per pull, a lb doesn't last long. Change that firearm that shoots 30 grains, and it goes much further. Add multiple firearms that shoot the same powder and large amounts of powder, then that amount to you or I might seem like hoarding, but in actuality, it's a season shooting worth. Just because a person has X amount of powder, doesn't mean it's thirty years worth of supply. I don't care if you shoot three rounds to sight in for hunting season or shoot competition, if you're like me, you won't succeed at long range unless you put rounds down range. Big cal's take big amounts of powder. After all, this is a long range site.

Which one are you the Ant or the Grasshopper?

I have powder within the total pounds allowed by NFPA which is how it is regulated...so far.
