Is there a purpose to the sudden interest in a unit of mass dating from the Bronze Age?

 

[tlovatt]

It is still used for some things, for example archery where it is quite common

 

[brightspark]

it was to settle an argument on weight of powder measured in grains

@brightspark
Thank you. No. Thank you.
I am now going to have to dig through my old books and notes, pre digital age. On my gun busting education.
That's not the problem.

They are in the attic.
Along with a lot of other stuff I have squirreled away over the years.

I may be gone a long time.

If they are charging you more than a Groat for it, you're being done.

@brightspark
Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Because of you, I am still blaming you, I spent 5 hours now.

Yes 5 hours in the attic looking at my bun busting notes and all the other stuff in the attic.

That's all I am going to say to you.
That's after I rummaged in this box, may be the next.
Oh I forgotten I had that.

I am cursed.

Didn't find a Rod, Pole and Perch up there did you?

Furlong for now.

 

[cocker]

20 grains is just right for 32 grams of no 6 .
It's nearly that time .

 

[Sarto]

Is a lot cheaper reload for the shotgun up there?
Or is it an hobby in itself?

It's more just because you can ,
Price wise you can roll your own for better than half the cost

 

[mcostello]

With all the firearm regulations how is it that reloading supplies are available? How can they be accounted for?
