S&W627shooter Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) 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?

foilhat Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 If I remember correctly, 10 pounds = around 750 cases Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn-rgr Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 13.5 pounds. This is for LC brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotys Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow10mm Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I use a 13.5 pound factor for mixed brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
