But do you iron-sight in MOA or Mils??
Speaking of old timey measurements...
How did we end up measuring our precision loads in "grains" which is, you know, actually referring to a ripe grain of some old ass plant?
Why not grams?
Holy shit. I didn’t know you knew such big words. Nice lexicon flex.You fools are using your MIL privilege. MIL privilege denotes both obvious and less obvious passive advantages that MIL people may not recognize they have, which distinguishes it from overt bias or prejudice. These include cultural affirmations of one's own worth; presumed greater social status; and freedom to move, buy, work, play, and speak freely.
I don't think that's what they call logic...
Dividing things is just math. I want to know the history. You will notice I didn't ask why...
Nanograms is where it's at.Seems logical to me to use a much finer measurement for such a small substance. Who wants to measure single grains/kernels of power by saying you needed to up your charge by 0.0648 grams (one grain)? I'm guessing there's your "how..."
You'd be truly surprised at how many people think that grain literally means a single extrusion or flake of powder versus a unit of weight.
A safe misunderstanding overall as it's the lesser of two evils; a really stupid thing to misunderstand in the grand scheme of things. I can picture someone counting single "grains" of powder for each cartridge... FML.
It's when people have scales set to grams instead of grains when loading TrailBoss - things get exciting!
Damn, now I need a microscope to cut those 4350 logs...Nanograms is where it's at.
Only if you're serious about your SD's...

Avogadro's number FTMFWNew rules for the reloading depot: all recipes must now be posted in atomic weight.
The answer I seek reads like this:
In 1670 some fucker said let's weigh this shit in grains. And since the firearms community is pretty conservative, it hasn't changed.
