Got some numbers:

1.) PSD 1986: 4.7 grams (72.53208 grains)

2.) WRA 1945: 4.7 grams (72.53208 grains)

3.) LC 1944: 4.8 grams (74.07532 grains)

4.) LC 1943: 4.7 grams (72.53208 grains)

5.) WCC 1942: 4.7 grams (72.53208 grains)

The first four were primed brass, the last one was spent. Primed or spent doesn't appear to affect weight or is negligible.  

I couldn't find any of my newer spent or primed brass, but I wouldn't think there would be any meaningful weight difference. 

Hope that helps.

I've got a variety of primed .30 Carbine brass. I'll see if I can locate my digital scale and get some numbers for you.
