Trying to figure grains to ounces conversion please advise.

Hi All

Trying to figure this out for loading buckshot.

There is 7000 grains to a pound

There are 16 ounces to a pound

So if I divide 7000 by 16 I get 437.5 grains to an ounce

Is this correct?
Thanks
Kid

Hunting and fishing are not matters of life or death. They are much more important than that.

If you're loading 00 Buck, just figure each pellet = 1/8 ounce.
