[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 2805205, member: 78298"]12 troy ounces to a pound. That's 1.67 pounds. Are you converting from troy to avoirdupois, since at 16 ounces, 20 ounces would be 1.25 pounds. You can always use the common denominator of grains, 480 grains in one troy ounce. (20 pennyweights at 24 grains) which is a more accurate measurement and one that no one uses anymore, since digital scales they all use 31.1 grams for a troy ounce which is close but not exact. And 437.5 grains in one avoirdupois ounce (16 ounces to the pound). Or 7000 grains to the pound. 5760 grains in one troy pound. (12x480)[/QUOTE]
