Roger..

The directions on the Mortons Sugar said to use 1/2 OZ per pound.

The only scales I had are what I use to reload with, I'm a gun nut and do alot of shooting, and they are accurate. There are 437grs. in an OZ so I doubled that.

Am I reading this right???....or did you type it wrong??? If ya only need 1/2 oz per pound....then why did you double the 437grs. to an oz...shouldn't you have cut the 437grs. in HALF???

Vulcan75001,
I think the problem in ending up w too much salt is the 475g:1OZ. It is 28g:1OZ.
