Why are two bulk density listed

[james2562]

I am working on my powder to void ratio. I am working with accurate 2495. When I went to look up the bulk density I saw two vastly different values given (0.913 and 14.090). I figure that the differences are for packed powder vs loose powder. Can anyone confirm that or set me straight?

The .9 is in grams and the 14 is in grains.
It is the same value.

How about furlongs, feet, yards, acres, miles, ounces, minims, drams, grains, etc.. Enough to drive an Old Coot more Cootie.

Plus cups, pints, pecks, bushels, pounds, breakers, barrels, tonnes, hogsheads, etc.. Just listening to a cooper describe the different barrel sizes and types is enough to make one smile.

VMD is not going to remain constant... but remember that different lot #'s will have different weights...... grains or grams.

I'd rather buy stuff by the grain, I feel like I get more.

Metric v SAE...

Metric is good when picking out wives (aka imports)... Otherwise I'm really an SAE kinda guy...
