I have a cat litter tub full of .223 a few thousand worth and I am not going to count by hand. Who has the right scale?

Just get a relatively inexpensive digital pound scale. Some are under $20-25 and last a long time. I have two I use daily for business. 10+ years old.

I've got a cheap one I bought at Costco business 15 years ago for about $30. It will weigh as little as one brass cartridge and I think it goes up to 50 pounds. Does ounces, grams, pounds, and kilos.

Depends on who you are selling to
We just did a group buy for 1000 blanks and came up one short If you list a sale based on weight/approximate round count you should be fine _________________ You may be right, I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for |

RocketScott wrote: If you list a sale based on weight/approximate round count you should be fine Yup. Here's what I do: 1) Use my inexpensive kitchen scale to measure, say, 10 cases. Get an average weight per case. 2) Put the bucket on the bathroom scale. Get a total weight. 3) Subtract the weight of the empty bucket. Estimate if you need to. 4) Divide the total weight by the weight of each case to get a total round count. Be conservative, advertise it as an estimate. You'll be close. _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

P.S. If you don't have a kitchen scale, get one . . . they are very helpful not just for reloading but also for actual kitchen stuff! Oh, and for calculating how many stamps you need on that envelope, too.
Here's an example, pulled pretty much at random from Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/NUTRI-FIT-Mult ... 0785L18R8/ _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

We did this once at my house on my counting scale. Did you loose my number or do you just not like me anymore?
