I haven't gone through 80 pounds of it, but likely 20 pounds or more & only in the .22 Hornet CZ's and .17AH.
A pound goes fairly well when using RP brass for .22 - 14.0 to 14.4gr. and 40gr. bullets.
13.8gr. LG with 45gr. bullets and 13.0gr. with 50gr. SX Hornady's.
With WW brass in the .22, I used 13.0gr. and 13.5gr. LG.with 40gr. HP's and 40gr. Vmax.

The .17AH uses 10.2gr. to 10.4gr. LG with 20gr. Vmaxs & 10.2gr. with 25gr. Vmaxs.

I have never had an issue with this powder, in these ctgs. and brass & CZ rifles.
100 meter accuracy from .157" to .224" for 3 shot groups and .250" to .350" for 5shot groups.
Same with the .17's, except best group was .187".
I did find, with the .17 AH, I could make a 5 shot group of .375" at 100 meters and have paper between each hole
but generally not.
