jmorris Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 If you would like to know how many rounds of brass you have lying around, as I did, you can use the information below. If anyone wants to count them out to see how close my calculations are let me know what you find out. 9mm, 59.46gr/ea, 117.7cases/#, 8.5#/1000 38spl, 68.06gr/ea, 102.8cases/#, 9.7#/1000 40s&w, 70.1gr/ea, 99.9cases/#, 10#/1000 .357mag, 78.3gr/ea, 89.4cases/#, 11.2#/1000 .45acp, 89.58gr/ea, 78.1cases/#, 12.8#/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. Individual case weights were derived using an average of mixed brass weights (except 50bmg) So, if you picked up 8#s of 45 brass: 8# X 78.1cases/# = 625 cases+/- 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 If you use 5gal buckets each full one will have 9MM = 8500-9000 pieces .40 S&W = 7000-7500 pieces .45 ACP = 3800-4000 pieces 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 .50 AE: 48 .30-30: 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CocoBolo Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hey a post in time to save me money. A local salvage yard has 9 mm brass for $4.00 a pound, everyone thought what a great deal well NOT that is $34.00 a thousand and it is not even clean. Better deals elsewhere..

BradGannaway Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Ok, I'll admit, I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I did score in the 90 percentile on the math portion of the GRE. I get the part that says how much each case weighs, but what does the rest of it mean? 9mm, 59.46gr/ea, 117.7cases/#, 8.5#/1000 This is what I'm reading; - 59.46gr divided by each...each what? - 117.7 cases divided by a number....what number and where does 117.7 come from? - 8.5 multiplied by a number, divided by a thousand.....what number and where does 8.5 come from?

Miranda Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I think he was asking for this: 7000 grains = one pound about that 4 dollar a pound price, I paid 3 dollars a pound for scrap brass recently.... so.... I suspect the price of brass cases will continue to escalate. buy sooner over later. v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradGannaway Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Ok, that makes sense. I know there are 7000 grains in a pound, it was just the use of "#" in the place of "pounds" and the use of "/" in the place of "=" that was screwing me up. I've just never seen those substitutions before. Thanks for the clarification. BSG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) # for pound is common in the circles I run in, its also know as the pound key on your phone. I used the / as per just like in Km/h kilometers per hour. Sorry for the confusion Edited August 2, 2010 by jmorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmorris Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 What? No 5.56?? Under 'cases by pound' I bet the .223 case is close enough and it's in the list above 73.5 per pound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
