I just recieved some weights for checking out labratory equipment. I was hopeing to get a conversion to grains to use on my reloading equipment. I have from 1 to 30 grain weights marked with a "g" after each number, I just figured it was grams, if wrong please let me know.

Any help will be apreciated.

    Somebody posted these on another forum, I have never used them so I don't know if they are accurate, I kept them around in case I needed it.

    1 oz. = 28.35grams
    1 grain = 0.00228 oz
    1 grain = 0.0648 grams

    **********************************
    grains ==> grams
    multiply by 0.0648

    grams ==> grains
    divide by 0.0648
    **********************************
    ounces ==> grams
    multiply by 28.35

    grams ==> ounces
    divide by 28.35
    **********************************
    ounces ==> grains
    multiply by 28.35/0.0648

    grains ==> ounces
    multiply by 0.0648/28.35

    From the machinery's handbook #23
    Gram weight times 15.43236 to get grains (1/7000 LB)
    30g = 462.9708 grains (463 close enough)

    Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.
