If I'm not mistaken, the number of bags of powder varied with the intended range. I think that the displays showed 3 or 4 of them.

When you tour the battleship, you can go right into the guns, and into the power and shell magazines below decks. The metal surrounding the magazines was steel about 3 feet thick...

Isn't it just amazing that those ships even float with all that goes into them?
