Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

  • 1 grain = 64.79891 mg exactly. 7000 grains = 1 pound.
  • Ballistics is one of the few modern contexts where grains are essential.
  • Some older pharmacology dosing survives in grain units — 5 gr ≈ 325 mg.

Avoid these

  • Confusing the grain (mass) with the troy grain in older precious-metal contexts — they are identical (64.8 mg).
  • Assuming "grain" refers to an amount of cereal — in firearms it is always a weight.
  • Reading "5 gr" as 5 grams — it is 5 grains (324 mg).
