[Ga Johnny]

Anybody have weights for brass they can share ? I'm going through my reloading stuff and don't want to count my buckets, boxes, etc of empty brass. 38, 9mm, 45acp

thanks

All the cases that I weighed were primed. Surprisingly. the primed and deprimed come out the same as far as weight goes.

.45 ACP = 78 cases
.38 Sp = 104 cases
9MM = 125 cases
.357 = 88 cases
.45 Colt = 60 cases
10MM = 87 cases
.30 Car. = 95 cases
.38 S&W Long = 136 cases

I am sure someone with give different weights.

Why the hell would you want to weigh handgun brass?
Just gotta know.

I have a limited number of fingers and toes.
Seriously it is a lot quicker to weigh than count.

Some of us have a lot of brass. I have several five gallon pails of 38 S&W Special brass, same of 45 ACP. Weighing it gives me an idea of what I need to reload it.

I keep my brass in ammo cans. It is nice to know how much a can weighs, so you have an idea of how much brass you have for that specific caliber.

Some might have a "condition" where they would hand count and bag their brass.

Just pointin' that out.

It will all depend on the brand. Different manufacturers will have a slightly different weight. I usually weigh 3-5 cases then extrapolate it out to get by the ounce and lb.

For a few grams one way or another,sure.

I am using generic x pieces of brass weights y so y times x is the amount of brass in the box, yes I throw a little extra in each box.
