I have searched the topic and cannot find an answer to what I am looking for. I have built a 55 gallon drum gravity feeder and need to know how much protein will it hold?

It should hold 250-300 pounds depending on the size of the pellets.

Not all drums are 55 gallons. A lot will depend on the drum size exactly and are you using a funnel? If so is the funnel inside the drum or is it under the bottom side extended down? If no funnel then and it is 55 gallons then it should hold 300 lbs.

I can put 5 50lb bags in mine with a funnel
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

We have 4 of the texas hunter 55 gal feeders with the plastic funnel in the bottom. They will hold between 5-6 50 lb bags of protein. I think there is some variation in what the bags weigh also.
