Awesome pay day for my youth shooting club. Took the fired brass to the recycling yard. Had 487 pounds of 22 LR brass, net the club $803.55. That will buy much needed supplies.

I sure would like to know how many! Anybody have 10 or 20 long rifle brass and an accurate way to weigh them? Should be easy to figure it out.

OK..if they were all 22LR casings, I get 44 empty casings per ounce.
487 lbs x 16 oz = 7,792 oz x 44 cases= 342,848 casings

Hmmm
Got my weight from 22 casings at 1/2 oz on both an accirate digital gram and RCBS/Ohaus powder scale..
Shows how magnifying a small sample size can magnify errors .
Anyway.. its a hell of a lot of fired casings..;)

I'm sure different brands of 22lr have nothing to do with the weight differences.

Was checking dims on LR brass a short while back and it is quite variable. Most US production has a case wall of .008" at the mouth and foreign manufacture runs .007". That's a ~12.5% spread in case weight on the face of it, but there are other aspects at play I did not measure.
I am..........disturbed.

I did.not check the cases I weighed ,but they had to be an even mix of CCI and SK Jagd.. Which is what I have ber shooting lately.. Its interesting as I never thought of the case weight diff before.
