Default How much powder does various brass hold?

I'd like to get into reloading, but have a limited budget for it. One way around a scale, which would still ensure consistent powder amounts, would be to use fired brass like measuring cups.

Accordingly, does anyone know how much powder it takes to fill these fired cartridges/brass:
22lr
22mag
9mm
38spec
357mag
40s&w
45acp

If i knew how much these brass held, i could get set up with consistent measurements, and then change my powder type to +/- velocity.

Thanks,
