There are two easy ways of figuring this, if you really wanna know.

The first is to calculate the volumn of one .45ACP shell. Then calculate the volumn of the bucket. Divide the volumn of the bucket by the volumn of the shell.

The other is using water.

Fill the bucket with water, and then fill enough .45ACP cases so that the bucket has no more water...

(second suggestion is tongue-in-cheek)
