Once, many years ago, muzzleloader shotgun shooters used the "DRAMS" system for measuring shot and black powder.
For those of us who are not old enough to remember this, here is the DRAMS/GRAINS equivalents for making the conversions.
2 1/2 Drams of powder = 68 grains
2 3/4 Drams of powder = 75 grains
3 Drams of powder = 82 grains
3 1/4 Drams of powder = 89 grains
3 1/2 Drams of powder = 96 grains
3 3/4 Drams of powder = 102 grains
4 Drams of powder = 109 grains
4 1/4 Drams of powder = 116 grains
4 1/2 Drams of powder = 124 grains
4 3/4 Drams of powder = 131 grains
5 Drams of powder = 138 grains
