Estimates for Brass

[Tragic Image]

Is there anyway to estimate by weight how much .223 brass I have?

I don't need an exact number really, but just a rough estimate. I think its some where over 1k, but probably alitlte under 1.4k


would weighing 10-15 cases then weigh the total batch, then do the math to figure it out from there give me a rough estimate? what do you think the margin for error is?

I think 90-95grs per case is a fair estimate. 77-73 cases per pound is about right.

95gr per case with spent primer, 7000gr per pound, 73 cases per pound. One K of brass will weigh about 13.6lbs.

the high dollar counting scale is nothing more than a decent scale with a built in calculator that does the math for you . weigh 20 pcs and then get the average weight of 1 and divide into the total weight less the container and you will be very close .

thats pretty much what I was considering, I didn't even know there was a scale that was specific for estimating this.

by the time you go to buy one just sit there and count it, would be faster.

Take a big measuring cup, count out how many it takes to fill it. Dump it, Keep track of how many times you can fill it...

If the primers ar still in... about 12.5 - 13 lbs per 1000. At least thats been my experience
