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.

A 5 gallon Orange Home Depot Bucket weighs 1 pound 10.6 ounces.

Excellent info for reference. Thanks.

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.
