how many 30br rounds to a pound of powder?

Not too long ago I stroked the Uniflow before I got the powder pan under it.
The brain was working faster than the hands!

Don't feel too bad. I was decapping 300BO cases, sort of got into a rhythm. Cranking away, and a case snagged as it went to the shellholder. Left hand knew to pushe the case further in, but the right hand kept the cadence of handle pulling. Put the deapping pin through my left index finger at the base of the nail.

I won’t put a Like on that one, but more like a big Ouch! That getting in a Rhythm thing can catch us all. I suspect a lot of us have to do our loading when we have all our other chores done, and for me that is usually at night when tired.
 
Better than throwing away fifty loaded but unprimed, I guess. 2500 yards. I can't even count up that high. I found out I can count up to 700 when recently counting available primers.

I bet you also never made that 3 am potty call, then went to reload and tried to seat with the sizing die still in the press. The decapping pin's demise was the result of that adventure.

After that I no longer go down there without at least two cup of coffee in me and another bathroom break since 16 oz. of coffee refuses to stay in a 13 oz. bladder.

A friend pointed something out to me that up to this point, I had failed to appreciate.
“It’s better to wake up and pee, than pee and wake up.”;)
