Clay1 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Without counting individual cases, how many rounds of 9mm Luger are in a pound? Thanks, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoShooter Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 use your scale = 437.5 grain = 1 ounce , x 16 = your pound. I get 6' 38 supper in one ounce + some 6.?3 x 16 = 100 +or-, 38 super per pound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoShooter Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Or 7000 grains per #. But most of our Powder scales only go to 500 grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) Here ya go (for fired brass, anyway, not loaded rounds): http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...=10627&hl=brass For hand loaded: 7000 grains/bullet+case+primer+powder charge weight in grains = #rounds/pound For factory: weigh one round and divide that into 7000 Edited December 24, 2005 by kevin c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 Thanks Kevin, I have been lazy and haven't weighed anything yet. That's what I was looking for - a down and dirty quick estimate - thanks! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugs Bunny Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 "But most of our Powder scales only go to 500 grain." Isn't that why the US Postal Svc. has scales that can be zero'd with an empty container in their small branch's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, the small (well, pistol-sized ) fold-it-yourself Priority Mail boxes weigh about 2oz or 60 grains. The automatic postage machines will give you a weight in oz before you have to put money in.
