7000 grs to 1lb. Average load out os 250-280 depending how many times spillage occurs, Or the ever present OOPS no primer seated, one.

I'd try running 24 grs for plinking, That would average out to another 11-12 rounds per lb. You could drop it to 23.8.
Using 2230 still gives me 3 - 4 moa (average) @ 200 with 55gr BTFMJ. put that on a 14 x 14 target and it's COM, every time.
No reason you need to be pushing max load specs for paper.

Buying 1lb containers, except for load development is, IMO, mental masturbation. Like the guy in a LGS buying primers. CSR said we have 1 - 5 K available. Guy goes i'll take 1K [facepalm] Your reloading and buying 1K, it cost you more to drive there and back than buying all 5K. I understand 1K of anew primer, maybe. I took the other 4K ;)
Buy often, buy in BULK.
