Hey guys, I thought that maybe you could help me here...
I'm doing a project for school about firearms in my physics class. I have a problem. I cant do any of the *calculations* until i know the exact weight of specific bullets in GRAMS. I know the weight of the bullets in grains, but i dont know how to convert that number into weight in grams, if there is any such conversion at all. If there is, it needs to be as accurate as possible. Can anyone here help me??

    There are several websites where you can obtain the conversion formulas. Start with a good internet search engine like Google.

    grain * 0.06479891 = gram (g)
    gram * 15.43236 = grain

    I THINK that is what you need (and is correct), if not interstate has the right idea, do a google search.

    If you are in a physics class, & cant find these sort of simple formulae, i gotta wonder about your school's accreditation.

    Just got done doing some Phychrometric problems and had to convert from grains to lbs. I used the conversion of 7000 grains = 1 lb. You convert any other mass equivelant from lbs.

    Go to this site and download "Convert" which is a nice little program that "converts" many units to measurement to others. It is a small program taking very little space. Save it to your Desktop and enjoy!

    This works for numerous processes and I have personally found it very useful.....grams to grains, ..... grains to ounces....etc., and ETC.!!

    Hey, bambihunter and rancheropaul...i got the correct mass. Thanks alot for your help. As for barto, its a private school...so...maybe thats better (your tax dollars arent at work) or maybe its worse (i should be smarter in private school?). Anyways, thanks again.

    I posted in the last couple of days 3 links to interesting sites with downloads. One of them contains the manuals for several powder and reloader manufacturers including Accurate, Lee, and several others. They are all free .pdf reloading catalogs. I would consider them to be a fairly big bonanza for someone doing a paper involving reloading calculations. Take a look back a page or three. ....
