Hi Fox,

3.67 lbs. is right on the money. (JavaTC uses the following calc and
indicates 3.67 lbs).

Weight = Wire Length / (1 / ((((Bare Wire Diam. / 2)^2) * pi * 3.853790614))

This is for round copper magnet wire. There will be some error depending on
insulation build and
natural wire tolerances, so always order a bit more than you calc.
