I remember it somewhere on the web but I can't find it. I'm almost ready to light my gun off. I know, I know ,I got to get a picture of it on the board.

ya, I know, but it is easier to remember 7000 grains to a pound than it is to remember 437.5 grains to an ounce.

You just divide 7000 by 16 ounces any time you want to remember 437.5 grains to the ounce.
