well the metric system measures in 10's. I measure powder in 10th of a grain,
Does that mean I already have gone metric?...;)
weigh in grams, lapua's website has load data in grams and grains both.Quote:

Have you thought about moving to Canada? Up there you could put 220 kPa in your tires and drink beer in liter bottles.

Just remember if you do move to Canada, the 25 miles per gallon you get in your car here in the U.S. will only be 10.628592675 kilometers per liter!
I have noticed guys giving OAL measurements in millimeters, I have thought about switching but it doesn't seem like millimeters are as fine or precise for my match loads.
All you really need to go to the metric system for hand loading is a good conversion chart for grains to grams and a scale/balance that will read in grams. Lapua and Norma bullets have their weights in g's on the label.
