what's it worth?

[code6charles]

How much is a 5 gal bucket full of mixed 40 brass worth? I don't load for that caliber, Yet.
I load for 9,45,223, with a Dillon 650. I have the dies for the 40 but not the conversion kit, since I don't own a 40 cal gun. I bought the dies thinking I was going to reload to shoot my friends guns, but I'll stick with my own guns.
Thanks for the reply in advanced.

The brass is worth about 3 cents a case, from what I have seen on gunbroker.

Then use weight to figure out how many cases are in a 5 gallon bucket. If I remember correctly, there are about 100 40 cal cases to a pound (I think the empty cases weighed about 100 grains each).

Sometimes .40 goes for $15 per 1k since there doesnt seem to be a high demand for it.

7000gr/lb. 7000/100=70 cases per pound if a case weighs 100grs.

5gal bucket = 5000 pistol cases rings a bell.
