I wrote up a thing for my Apple II years ago then put into a spreadsheet it gives about 4 pounds.
Used to use it for calculating barrel weights got BP Cartridge Silhouette rifles.

The Dixie Gun Works catalog used to have a chart of barrel sizes and calibers giving the weight per inch.  I don't know if they still do that.  My old catalog has the chart in it.
