How much does 1000 cases of 223 weigh?

[S&W627shooter]

I picked up 88 pounds of what I assume is once-fired police brass after they had a clinic at our range. I want to sell the cases, but I don't want to count them out. Does anyone know how much 1000 .223 cases weigh or how I can determine how many I have?

Thanks,

Chris

If I remember correctly, 10 pounds = around 750 cases

13.5 pounds. This is for LC brass.

The 223 above is pretty close to my actual. I have de-primed, sized, cleaned brass and the actual weight is 71 cases per pound. That's the average out of an actual 1000 brass count.

It is a mixture of Lake City and Partizan (PPU).

I use a 13.5 pound factor for mixed brass.
