NewColonial Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 One pound of 9mm equals about 115.93 cases, according to information I've saved, but lost the source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Amish 1 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I have a collection of Folgers coffee containers that I use for brass storage. Plus/minus 900 pieces, and that's a rough estimate, of 9x19 will fit in a 33.9oz container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 2500 in a shoebox. I use the 99 cent clear shoeboxes from Home Depot. Not sure it helps but I would think somewhere just under a thousand would be a good guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anachronism Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Let's see. A pint is a pound, the world around, and it you divide that by pi you get 2300. My answer is 2300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
