how many .223 brass fit in an ice cream pail

[Farlsincharge]

Approx?
Any guesses?

 

[Spawn-Inc]

what size pail? tossed in or carefully placed. either way i have no idea.

 

[Short Knife Johnson]

I will give you the answer you seek.

Every .223 cartridge ever made will fit in but a single ice cream pail... as long as it is put in by itself.

Think about it! The pail is huge, and the brass is so tiny.

I really should not post things past my bedtime.

763......

Just a guess, I keep mine in rubbermaid tubs!

Less than the number of angels dancing on the head of a pin.

Ice cream pails come in sizes from 500ml-20l. I assume you're talking about 4l, and would guess around 500. But, I've never possessed more 223 brass than I've picked up on the ground at any one time, so I'm far from an expert in how much space it takes up.

 

[Farlsincharge]

4L pail tossed in. I think it is around 800, but I cannot remember and I really don't want to count.

how long is a piece of string?

how long is a piece of string?

Not sure, but a piece of twine is 273 cm.

I'm gonna post whore my way to 1000 tonight, it's been a long time comin.

500 fit in a red plastic Folgers coffee can (2 pound size).

 

[hedgehog]

post away

 

[fuzzynuts54]

693 is my guess, randomly tossed in with quick shake to settle and toppd up.

 

[Arctic]

964, give or take a few for settling.

 

[aubie97]

If the pail has a hole in the bottom; it' be a lot more than 800 pieces.

 

[bladerogers]

what enefgee said....my guess is aprox.1100

Cheers.

Not far off 600.

[RobFrank]

depends on how much ice cream is still in it

 

[rookie wildcat]

Back to basics

Total weight-Pail weight
---------------------------- = number of brass
one brass weight

not sure if I use 3 or 4L ice cream containers but I know they will only hold about 400 of .45ACP. I doubt it will hold more than that of .223 so I'd say 350-375 but I could be way off.
