jmorris Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 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...

Gussers Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) How's this? I got bored today and decided to compile what I'd found over the past few weeks. The spreadsheet shows case weight, cases per lb, and lbs per 1000 cases. I've also added a little calculator field for each caliber that let's you enter how many lbs of brass you have and calculates how many cases that is. I've asterisked the case weight data obtained from "# of cases per lb" as I feel this is probably not as accurate as taking 10 mixed cases and averaging the weight several times. It's probably good enough for most people's purposes. Please let me know what you think: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13885927/Brass%20Weights%20and%20Calculator.xls or Google Drive https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxnJdL1dMVpMNTdpSV9OaXJuZ2M/edit?usp=sharing Edited November 20, 2013 by Gussers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
