There is no set weight for load points. The reason for this is that when I 
wrote the book I deliberately chose to make the points an abstract 
conglomeration of weight/bulkiness. If you really want to pin me down, I'd 
say the load point value of an object is 1 point for each 50 lbs. of weight 
or portion thereof.
