For the record; 480 grains to the once; 12 ounces to the pound NOTE: Troy ounce & pound

Powder however is sold by the Avoirdupois pound

takes us to the question: which weighs more an ounce of feathers or an ounce of gold? Answer: gold

Pound of feathers or a pound of gold? Answer: feathers

A Troy ounce weighs more than an Avoirdupois ounce but a Troy pound is 12 ounces and an Avoirdupois pound has 16 ounces

The three most valuable things are weighed in the Troy ounce.... Gun Powder, Drugs & Gold
