    Grains. Always grains. Quite frankly, you'd know if your units were off because the case couldn't hold the charge. 50gm of powder takes up way more volume than 50gr.

    Another way - 1gr is 1/7000 of a pound. 1gm is 1/454 of a pound. 1gm of a powder will equal 15.4gr of the same powder (and take up 15.4x the volume).

    Nothing to be sorry about. When dealing with conflagrating gunpowder in a small, enclosed space, it's always better to safe.
