    Umm... depends on a lot of things. The brass or shell would usually be pretty close from 1 9mm load to another 9mm load, but beyond that they can be different. Is the 9mm bullet 115 grain, or 124 grain? How much powder? I assume you mean 9x19 and not 9x18. The same applies to the .22lr, .45(I assume you mean .45ACP and not .45GAP), .223, and .308.

    For shotgun shells it can be WAY different. Are they 2 3/4" shells? 3 1/2"? Buck shot, bird shot, slugs, some kinda specialty ammo like a tracer or "flamethrower" round? How much powder? How much shot? Low recoil ammo? Mini shells like those short ones made by Aguila?

    Your question is way too vague. Hopefully you can get enough info from this response to understand why, and be able to search on your own.

        Even that chart doesn't quite cover enough beyond a "vague" idea.

          You're talking a mile long chart if you want to cover everything.

            That's why I told the OP his question was missing a lot of info and was basically un-answerable.

              For an exact answer, true, but for round-about estimates it should work for whatever he's after.

              For kicks I just weighed:

              165gr and 180gr .40 Golddots, Fiocchi and Freedom Munition reloads. They all came out to 16grams which is ~28.34 rounds per pound.

              12ga 2 3/4" (not sure of the load, not in original box) 42grams ~10.7 rounds per pound

              The batteries kept dying on the scale so I wasn't sure about accuracy but based on someone else chart it seems like pretty usable data for whatever that use may be. This little test also made me realize I'm almost out of 12ga.

              EDIT: I lied, I thought the Fiocchi was 180gr but they're 170.

                500 rds of 9mm 124 gr packed in cardboard boxes is just within the airline allowed 5Kg limit. That's all I know.
