Best part of buying a faster powder is, you will get quite a few more loads per pound, so a pound will last a long long time!!
Exactly, for example with 1 pound of hodgdon clays I can get over 2000 reloads of 38 special, being that a 44 special doesnt use a whole lot more powder then a 38 special I say you could easily get about that many reloads too.
