Weight of empty 8# Hodgdon jug?

[grovey]

Can anyone help me out with the weight of an empty 8# Hodgdon jug?

 

[whatwind?]

i weighed a sealed jug of IMR 8133 last week and it was 8.54 lbs.....

 

[Rocketvapor]

Empty weight of different ones
Wrong units, back soon.
That was supposed to be 5.24 oz for the IMR jug, 5.90 oz for the other two.

Oh crap, hope the OP doesn't have me on ignore

Empty Varget 8# didn't make 8 oz on spring trigger scale.

EDITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Answer was wrong and I can't verify correct answer.

 

[Rocketvapor]

Nick, that's either one of those old metal jugs or it ain't empty.
JD probably still has his in the metal cans
Weighed with really cheap scale.
Repeats within a few (10) grains. Position sensitive.

I wonder if the weight of a full/partially full jug changes with moisture content?

7 to 7.2 oz. for a fairly recent h4350 empty 8lb plastic jug

 

[Rocketvapor]

I wonder what the water weight is for one filled with water

Awrite wise guy. Don't blame me for "obtaining" my powder back when a jug cost less than a term of tuition at a community college.

I got 7.5...so 7 to 8 oz seems fair

Many thanks men.

I've got 2 new Alliant 8lb cans. They each weigh 12.7 oz.

Whats this “BI MART” you shopping at here?

 

[jds holler]

I think we got that BiMart prolly early to mid seventies. I got my first Rock Chucker there, and that would have been '74 or 75' I think. It was a great place for sporting goods back then, and still not too bad.

BiMart used to be a big deal to us folks around here. You've got to be a member, and it's now employee owned. WalMart could drop off the edge of the earth as far as I care. BiMart -- not so much. jd

I had forgotten DuPont once made powder.

Anyone know the weight of a Hodgen 1 pound can?

Do you need the weight of the old metal can, or--?

 

[SG4247]

No a modern plastic one…lol

Here's another blast from the past from "jd's Antique Reloading Supplies".

Full brick of CCI 200's. Back then if you had told us that 100 would ever be sold for that much, we'd have said "not in my lifetime!!" jd
