Reloading Manual Conversions
Ammunition reloading manuals specify bullet weight in grains and powder charges in grains, but some European reloading data uses grams. A load of "42.0 grains of Varget powder" equals 2.72 grams. When using data from different sources, always verify the unit system. Some high-precision reloaders use gram-based scales for consistency, converting published grain data to grams (divide by 15.43).
Troy Ounce and Grain: The Gold Connection
In the troy system: 1 troy ounce = 480 grains = 31.1035 grams. This differs from the avoirdupois ounce (437.5 grains = 28.35 g). Gold, silver, and platinum are weighed in troy ounces, but the grain provides finer resolution. Gold dealers buying small amounts may quote in grains per dollar or grams per dollar, making this conversion essential for small-scale precious metals trading.
Key Takeaways
- 1 grain = 0.06480 grams (64.80 mg).
- 15.43 grains = 1 gram exactly.
- Standard aspirin tablet: 5 grains = 325 mg = 0.325 g.
- Bullet weights: 55 gr (.223) = 3.6 g; 230 gr (.45) = 14.9 g.
- 1 troy ounce = 480 grains = 31.10 g.
