9mm brass/lb

[P30shtr]

Did a search, didnt find anything so...

Like the title says, anyone know how many 9mm casings per pound (or oz, I guess you could get more precise that way). I have a Christmas popcorn tin damn near full. If anyone knows, I could just throw it on a scale and get a rough idea of how many I've got.

Thanks

Just weighed a piece of WIN 9mm Luger brass (w/used primer) and it weighs 61.6gr. 7000/61.6 = ~113 pieces (113.64)

approx. 650 9mmx19 cases fit in a 48oz juice can

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

or if you use the 5gal bucket method

9MM = 8500-9000 pieces
.40 S&W = 7000-7500 pieces
.45 ACP = 3800-4000 pieces

here is 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

I don't have a scale to accurately weigh my plastic coffee containers full of 9mm; but that popcorn tin must be pretty heavy to lift.

I counted the brass in one container "once", and it was 1200 cases when maximum full and able to put the lid on. With a bathroom scale, it weighs just over 10#-maybe 10 1/4# on a bathroom scale. Weighed myself, then myself holding the cases.

Well, I weighed the tin. 23# 12oz. Sounds like I've got a little over 2600 cases to load. Real nice. Thanks for the replies.
