ok so i am not so good at math problems.
but how many .40 brass are there in 26 pounds?
just do not have the time right now to just count them all.

just want to make sure i have enough primers, bullets and powder on hand before i start the press.
next week i start decaping them. (cheap little lee press, set up just for decaping.) and pressing in the primers (hand tool) week --- three after. this i do as a three step (shinny clean between) not in the main loading press.
sure a bit more work. but gives me better control of things. no deep primers, and all cases have been full length resized before going into the press. (just a rock chucker with a piggy back).

sure can count them then, seeing as i need time ($) to get everything on my bench.
