just a curiousity question but whats the heaviest slug in oz. or grains youve ever seen? 1 3/4oz is about as big as ive found for 12 gauge

[jmortimer]

In factory ammo don't know but I have seen slugs up to 2,000 grains in larger bores and at least 1,000 grains in 12 guage.

[Dimis]

what do grains translate into ounces?
or moreso how many grains does it take to equal an ounce?

[JWF III]

IIRC 7200 grains equals 1 pound. Divided by 16 ounces, equals 450 grains per ounce. (Did the math in my head, so it might be worth checking.)

7000g in 1 lb, so 437.5g per ounce. Biggest I've seen is 1 3/4 ounces, or 766g.
I think the real answer lies in Ed Hubel's 12GA from hell (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=178655).

I know he got a 1050gr slug to 2600 fps, don't know how much higher he went.

[jmortimer]

That is what I was refering to. He told me Greg Sappington makes the slugs.

1 grain = 0.06479891 grams

1 ounce = 437.5 grains

Just go to google and type in

x (units of measure) in (units of measure)

It converts mass, distance, time, etc
