Full 1lb jug of IMR

Look at the size can DuPont used to sell IMR powders in. A pound of stick powder is about a pint in volume.

A pint is a pound the World around.

Next time you open a brand new bag of potato chips, check the level inside. It usually looks like some cretin in the warehouse ate about half the bag, then sealed it back up. LOL. The label on the bag always has some statement such as, "some settling may have occurred during shipment". Settling, my a$$. They used a much bigger bag than necessary so as to make it look like more. It's a marketing ploy.

The same half full/half empty appearance is also true for powder jugs. A standard 1 lb jug is good to hold at least 1.3 lb or so; an 8 lb jug can actually hold well over 10 lb when filled to the top. I'm not really sure why they do it that way. It seems less likely to be a marketing ploy with powder, but who knows?

We're lucky if not more than half the chips are chip dust on the bottom of the bag!

Actually, the bags are full of air to prevent the chips from getting crushed in shipping. Much like the air packs in boxes of fragile items.

Funny comments yes if I had a scale I’d weight it. I was just curios and wanted to do a quick check with you guys.

on the flip side local gun shop had 21 single 1 pounders of Varget come in and I got 12. Finally!!!! $44 a pop

Depending where you live and your relationship with some stores, they may let you use certified scales to check things. Especially if you are a good customer.
Careful though, you could carry a boxed rifle into a post office, weigh it and send it to yourself, OK, legally. But you probably can weigh powder there.
Hardware store, produce stands etc.
