A Weighty Question

[Shumkles]

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.........

38spl, 68.06gr/ea, 102.8cases/#, 9.7#/1000

40s&w, 70.1gr/ea, 99.9cases/#, 10#/1000

.223, 95.28gr/ea , 73.5cases/#, 13.6#/1000

.44mag, 114.38gr/ea, 61.2cases/#, 16.3#/1000

50bmg, 865.26gr/ea, 8.1cases/#, 123.5#/1000

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


CASES per POUND:

.380: 145
.357 Sig: 96
.45 GAP: 86
.32: 168
10mm: 96
FN 5.7: 124
.25 acp: 260
.30 Luger: 120
.38 S&W: 120
.38 Super: 104
9mm MAK: 124
.45 Colt: 60
.30-M1: 100
.308: 40
.30-06: 35
7.62x39: 54

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
