I was trying to think of a prize, maybe a random gun product related sticker I got with purchases? Yeah that sounds good. I'll send the winner a sticker.

I'm sorry, but I don't purposely embarrass myself in public unless it's for money.

939 pieces is my guess

My guess is 1562 because it looks to be about one run in my tumbler. No I don't want them I have more than enough 9mm brass already. LOL

Okay, admittedly an inconsequential topic, but maybe fun. My son counted these for me, and we took guesses beforehand at how many there were.

What is your guess??

Answer will be revealed at 6pm mst on Sunday the 6th.

Assuming about 9 cases per 1 cubic inch I'm thinkin' 2500 cases!

Did I win?

More than 100, less than 10,000...

I didn’t think of it from a volume standpoint. 6x10x4 ~ the size of that Berry’s box and depth of fill would be ~ 240 cubic inches. My mental CI to gallon standard, the old Buick Grandnational had a 3.8 liter/231 cubic inch/1 gallon engine in it.

On average a 9mm case weighs, with spent primer 59.46gr/ea, 117.7cases/#, 8.5#/1000cases.

A 1 gallon zip lock bag holds ~ 1836 cases. 240/231= 1.038x1836 = 1907.5 cases

240-231= 9ci x 9pcs/ci = 81 pcs + 1836 /gal = 1917 cases

It falls within how I came up with my guess.

A SPP ~ 2.5 grains.

An empty Berry’s box that size will weigh around 7.2 oz, filled with deprimed mix brass, 4” deep, the contents (minus box weight) are 15 lbs 14.8 oz or 15.925 lbs.

15.925 lbs x 7000 gn (per pound) = 111,475gn / 59.46 = 1874.789 cases with primer.

111,475 gn / 56.96 [59.46 - 2.5] = 1957.075 cases without primer.

I'll say 800.

Thanks for the gallon zip lock info!

Volume of cases is 315 cubic inches x 6 shells per CI = 1890. The box is bulged, so add a couple more dozen. My 6th grade arithmetic estimate is 1925.

c'mon, Daddy needs a new sticker...
