I can easily understand the confusion in Montana as to what virgin sheep eat. Virgin sheep and Montana--now there's an oxymoron for you.

7000 Grains per pound. Powder, boolits, apples, whatever.

But precious metals are weighed in Troy weight, only 12 ounces to the pound. And if the price of powder gets much higher, I guess it will come in troy pounds, too.

[Phil]

Its a good thing for us that THEY don't consider ww a precious metal.

Cheers,

Well thank goodness for above average wheat, cause if it all was just average, We would have to put up with just average whiskey.

Grains dont seem to change.

Hi Wills,

You're right of course, a grain is a grain. But, the number of grains in a Troy pound are different than the number of grains in an Avoirdupois pound because the Troy pound is only 12 ounces instead of the 16 ounces an Avoirdupois pounds contains. But, you knew that. (:>)

Cheers,

Phil

If virgin sheep eat virgin wheat....does that make virgin droppings? Can you recognize these droppings by the ability to pick them up by the clean end?


There seem to be a lot of guys here that sing the old Platters song....

Only Ewe..

"Only ewe can make this world seem right
only ewe can make the darkness bright
only ewe and ewe alone
can thrill me like ewe do
and fill my heart for love for only ewe....'

Interesting fun fact....1/2 of all shooters are below average marksmen

[Phil]

Yep, and fifty percent of the doctors out there graduated in the bottom half of their class.

Cheers,

If you are using a pound that only has 12 ounces then it would only take 5250 grains(less wheat to count).

If you don't screw around with them.

---------- If you are missing a grain or two from a pound how do you recover it from the manufacturer----Is there an 800 # available.
