The case is tapered, but not knowing exactly what angle it's tapered at, I couldn't tell you. It'd be a huge fucking circle though!

_ \/ Either that, or it would be "an infinite amount" as no man-made "circle" could have a perfect radius using shells. I assume OP was trying to say "how many shells would it take of 9mm shells laying side-by-side to form a complete loop (or circle)?" like this: 
except that 9mm luger has a rebated rim with only a slight taper to the case itself to create the arc - so it would likely take tens of thousands to make a really big circle. |

Using the following:
9.96 mm rim 9.65 mm case neck 19.15 mm case length ...it takes 388 cases to form a circle with a 1.5 mm gap in one place. The circle has a radius of 615.27119 mm (24.2232752 inches) and a circumference of 3865.86288 mm (152.199326 inches). Edit for case length, just a typo. EATA: I forgot about the 0.3 mm rebate of the rim so based on that geometry, I get 382 cartridges with a .665 mm gap in a circle of radius 605.93230 mm (23.8556024 inches) and a circumference of 3807.18495 mm (149.889171 inches).

Since I neglected to see that the "lower" point of contact is actually the upper corner of the rim, I ran it again:
362 cartridges with a 4.05 mm gap in a circle with radius 575.73889 mm (22.6668854 inches) and circumference of 3617.47412 mm (142.420241 inches). Just a 2D line drawing in Autocad 2000, but I'm confident with it now. Off to brine a turkey, since my brain power is clearly at a daily low. |

With the numbers in the picture.
362.863 The total angle of the taper on a 9x19 is .9921* with half of that per side in the perfect world. I used trigonometry to get the angle on one side and figured out how many sets of angles(360 / angleoftaper) to complete one circle, or 360*. Seemed too simple so I checked back here and someone was already on it. SOrry, no fancy diagrams here. |

400 rounds on a 24x48 scrap of 1/2" plywood:
Realized that I needed a bigger piece (d = 2r, duh) so grabbed a spare piece of MDF and got to assembling. Here's 362 rounds in as near a circle as I can get by eye this late: 
The difficulty of aligning them makes this a futile exercise for all practical purposes. I could just as easily have built a tight circle with 400 rounds as with 200 rounds. |
