It all depends. There are 7000 grains in a pound of powder. So lets say you were using 10 grains just for a example you would get about 700 loads. Just divided 7000 by the grains you are going to use.

7,000gr per pound. Divide that by your charge weight. This has been covered and is probably still on the first page.
