What do Jigs Weigh In Grains?

[slabbandit]

What should a 1/32, 1/24, 1/16, and a 3/32 jig weigh in grains?

[gabowman]

(1/32) ounce = 13.671875 grains
(1/24) ounce = 18.2291667 grains
(1/16) ounce = 27.34375 grains
(3/32) ounce = 41.015625 grains

I wouldn't think it would be too much...maybe 20 or 25? maybe someone one here will have a scale and be able to tell ya. I know alot of people like to measure them hunting arrows and competition shooting arrows, and that would be measured in grains.

must have been measuring them while I was typing my last post :p

Am I correct in assuming that this is how you guys check the weight of your jigs? I'm thinking about getting a blank mold and having a friend of mine build me a 1/24 and 3/32 oz. jig mold at his machine shop.

I don't pour my own, but when I want to know what one really weighs, I have a digital scale and weigh them in decimal of Oz. so a 1/32 is .03125 and all you do to get the decimal of any of them is divide the top number by the bottom!

Thanks Skip, that's what I really wanted to know, just didn't know how to ask.

7,000 grains equal 1 pound. As long as you know that you can git close on various weights.
