Thought since I had to figure out about how many cases I had for a trade that I'd share the info. I used my wife's food scale and zeroed the scale with a bowl on it and averaged putting 100 fired, dirty, mixed head stamp, primer in cases and it went something like this..

100 32 acp = 10oz
100 380 = 11.25oz
100 9mm = 14oz ( 500 = 4 pounds 6oz )
100 38 spc = 15.75oz
100 40 cal = 16oz
100 45 acp = 20oz or 1pound 4oz
100 44 mag = 26oz or 1pound 10oz


Obviously this is only for estimating and how dirty or clean might sway it a bit but not as much as you might think. I tried some dirty and clean 45acp and it was all in the same range. Happy estimating.
