there are 7000 grains in a pound.
I'm sure someone will post the calculations for grams, etc. I think this had to do with how many grains of wheat were in a pound. Someone long ago figure out it was 7000. That is the unit of measurement we use for bullets and powder charges. Much finer than ounces or grams. |

Most reloaders use scales that can measure to the 1/10th of a grain. That is pretty accurate!
Compare 1/70,000 ths of a pound to a 1/100th of a pound that the postal and counting scales use. If you ever wanted to know the weight of an ant or somthing, you can weigh it on a reloading scale. |

Found this too:
Avoirdupois Weight 27 11/32 grains = 1 dram 16 drams = 1 ounce 16 ounces = 1 pound 100 pounds = 1 short hundredweight Apothecaries Weight 20 grains = 1 scruple 3 scruples = 1 dram 8 drams = 1 ounce 12 ounces = 1 pound In apothecary weight, there are 480 grains per ounce. This is a difference of 8.85%, which is significant. I am sure, though, that reloading is done in avoirdupois (water) weight. |
