I would be surprised if any manufacturer publishes that information, even if they know it themselves. Why not buy a bag then, halfway through the job, weigh what's left and see if you need to buy more? Alternatively, just buy two to begin with. You know the extra nails will come in handy some day.

Count out say 10 or 20 and weigh them, just maths after that. Simples.
Work it out. Calculate the volume of metal in a clout in Cm3 Density of steel is around 7.8 gram per cm3

shows Roofing Nail Galvanized Clout 65mm x 2.65mm as approx. 311 nails per/kg*
*that's their idea of "approximate"not mine!
google him say when asked 'clout nails by weight'

per kg so 450 for 65 x 3.75mm
330 per kg so 825 for 65 x 2.65mm
Galvanised wire nails with a bit smaller head come at 504 and 865 respectively
simples
It occurs to me that it is quicker to google than write the post asking the question

Assuming you are lucky enough to find the right hits. I did google the question after it appeared and found no sites that gave an answer.
