Find an unprimed piece of 45 ACP, shake the dirt out, place on grain wt scale, multiply by 1000= grains per 1000, divide by 7000= lbs per 1000 :roll:

Throw 1 case on your scales, multiply X 1000 then divide by 7000 for total weight in pounds. [smilie=1:
Allow about 10% variation for total weight because not every case weights the same. [smilie=s:

I just needed a rough idea
Buddy of mine came across 2- 50# boxes of empty brass
I'm buying all of it and was trying to get rough amounts.

Depends on how big of a bucket you have.
