Here are the numbers and you can let me know if you come out with something different. I'll give you the volume found by measuring all twelve side in mm.
V=11.46cm (cubed)
MC: it's been stored at 65 degrees f and 40% RH. So it should be around 7.5%
Weight in grains is 146.5gn

Both snake skins were road kill and had some blood staining I tried to wash out but was unsuccessful, so I stained them to try to blend in. Then taped off the bow and applied skins with TTB3.
