Grains compaired to ounces, grams...?

      1 gram = 15.4323584 grains................. 1 gram = 0.0352739619 ounces.............. 1 grains = 0.00228571429 ounces

                                                                                Hope that Helps

437.5 grains to the ounce! I have an old triple beam scale and it measures in ounces , 1/100oz and fractionally so I have to multiply whatever reading I have by 437.5 to find the grain weight.

Technically speaking, grams are not weight. Grams measure mass, and therefore is not exactly what you are looking for when measuring an arrow (in the usual case). Grains, however, are a different story, I believe.
