I have searched and cannot find the answer. My Google Fu is normally strong but I am having no luck.

Depends on if your selling or buying I guess.With out naming the member I received a box of boxes when I ordered more than that flat rate box would hold,according I got 180 to 190 in a couple of boxes and 310 in two of the boxes?? I really think most of these guys are selling by weight and not count which would explain why a box of 308 can be less than 50 or more then 75 just depends on how much range sand was picked up??? I only buy cleaned brass now unless I know the seller and trust his/her judgment

The last large flat rate box I got had 3K 38spl.and 5k with 9mm

I am selling. I have a surplus of nickel 38 brass I would like to pass on to somebody else.

the last bag I bought was a gallon zip lock with 500 38spl cases I think it would be very close to getting 2 of those in s a MFRB

I'd be interested in some more 38 brass if the price if fair

I'm counting out one box. So far it is roughly 3/4 of the way full and I am at 1900 pieces.

Get a MTM 100 round, 45 ACP (hinged) ammo case. You can unsnap the hinge, and shake brass into the holes. Way faster than counting out by hand - and more accurate to.

Ok, I have a smile on my face this is too funny. Good luck bud. I would have given up already.

Weigh 10 cases and take an average weight for one case. Divide that weight into 7000 grs. Weigh your box full of brass and multiply by the number of pounds. Simple and very close if you have a good scale.
