Primers Stacked

Great answers from everyone!

Empire State Building 1,454' to the Tip of the Spire or a 10'X10'X10' room.

If using CCI Bricks the 10' X 10' X10' with carboard and air space you could stack 55,760 Bricks in the room. (55,760,000 Primers)
Then if stacking flat one Brick on top of another you would get 9,970 Bricks high. (9,970,000 Primers)

If using Federal Bricks the 10' X 10' X10' with carboard and air space you could stack 16,320 Bricks in the room. (16,320,000 Primers)
Then if stacking flat one Brick on top of another you would get 4,362 Bricks high. (4,362,000 Primers)

Using either CCI or Federal Bricks the most amount of primers would be in the 10'X10'X10' Room!



On the other hand, if you take the primer out of the Brick Box.

Large Rifle Primers 0.210"W & 0.126"H stacked one on top of the other you would have 138,476 Primers high.
Stacked without Brick Boxes in a 10'X10'X10' room you would have 310,391,032 Primers.


Small Rifle Primers 0.174"w & 0.122"H stacked one on top of the other you would have 143,016 Primers high.
Stacked without Brick Boxes in a 10'X10'X10' room you would have 466,650,743 Primers.

I remember the days when we didn't have Computers, Calculators, Kestrel, Applied Ballistics and we had to figure out Ballistics by hand (mentally). As I get older, I try to keep my mind working and make problems to solve.
It amazes me how much I forgot over the years! Math, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus.
I did these calculations out longhand on paper by Brick Size, Primer size and not volume. Hope I got the answers correct for the "Primers".
