To add to the info for case weights from info I've gathered on the web:
.357 Sig----145 per lb.
.45 Gap----86/lb
10MM------96/lb
FN 5,7-----124/lb
.25 acp----260/lb
45 Colt-----60/lb
30 M1------100/lb
7.62x39----54/lb
.50 AE------48/lb
50 BMG----865 grains each or 8/lb
Just an average as some cases may weigh more or less.

These charts are handy. Does anyone know how many 223 cases fit in a 5 gallon Behr paint bucket? 9mm? 40 S&W? 45 ACP? Coffee cans are just too small

I think I recall a 5 gallon bucket of mixed brass weighing around 70 pounds, but I could be a bit off.

Thanks for the helpful info. I've been storing excess brass in 5 gallon paint buckets for deep storage. Anyone know the brass count or weight of a full 5 gallon bucket full of popular pistol and rifle brass cases? I don't have a large enough scale to weigh my buckets.

Use the charts above and add in 1 lbs of brass until bucket / bowl / coffee can is full. Not perfect but you should be able to get pretty close to the wieght.

I cant believe I posted this / I cant believe people asked

Nacinator, yeah I figured I could do it that way but I didn't think using a 5 gal. paint bucket for brass storage was my original idea and figured someone had it worked out already.

Don't know for sure if this is correct or not, but I thought .380 is 145/lb, I would think .375 Sig cases would weigh more than that.

If you use 1gal ziplock 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

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+/-

Realistic counts for 5 gallon bucket of 223 is 4500-5000. 4600 -4700 is about average.

I weighed 1000 5.56 .223 mixed brass and it came out to 14.3lbs. used a refrigerant scale that i weigh all my ebay packages with.
maybe its because the 5.56 are thicker brass.
.07lbs is a small variance in 1000 mixed cases.

I would suppose the 5.56 vs the .223 weights pretty much answer the questions re loading.

I read an article somewhere stating the volumes held by these two are identical. I don't know how that could be unless the 5.56 is denser somehow.

Assuming the weights listed are correct of course, one would have to take into account the differences when working up loads.

Thank you OP for taking the time to follow up on your og post.
