Is there a table somewhere that tells you the weight of various pistol caliber cases?
I have started to weigh some brass and make a chart but I is tedious.

I guess the question would be why you need this information? Case weights will vary by construction, length, manufacturer, etc.
I don't know of any table of weights.........

All weights are uncleaned fired cases with the primer remaining.
If you use 1gal ziploc freezer bags to store your brass, each (full) bag contains:
9mm, 15.6#, 1836cases
40s&w, 12.2#, 1219cases
45acp, 11.4#, 890cases
223, 11#, 809cases
or if you use the 5gal bucket method
9MM = 8500-9000 pieces
.40 S&W = 7000-7500 pieces
.45 ACP = 3800-4000 pieces
here is a few more

If that's what you're looking for, weights for bulk brass, there are several different people who have listed what different calibers weigh per hundred, or how many make up a pound. Jmorris's list is as accurate as any list I've seen.
I just use a counting scale when selling bulk brass.....

Thanks UncleDave, That is what I was looking for. I have all kinds of brass in various containers and I did not want to count them all.
Thanks
