WIkipedia says: In the sausage industry the nitrites and nitrates are pre-formulated into a product called Prague powder #1 and Prague powder #2. Prague powder #1 contains 6.25% sodium nitrite and 93.75% sodium chloride and is used for the preparation of all cured meats and sausages other than the dry type. Prague powder #2 contains 1 ounce of sodium nitrite and 0.64 ounces sodium nitrate per pound of finished product (the remaining 14.36 ounces is sodium chloride) and is used for the preparation of Cured dry sausages. Prague powder #2 should never be used on any product that will be fried at high temperature (eg. bacon) because of the formation of nitrosamines.
1 pound = 7 000 grain

There are 7,000 grains in one pound of gun powder. Grains are measured at 437.5 grains per ounce.
This isn't an official answer as I am looking for just that now but on one forum I just read, someone said it's about 3 to 1 or 3 pounds of beef equals about 1 pound of jerky. I'm gonna make my own today and will update with an answer when I know for sure. Also, keep in mind, it's not a static number, different types of meat and probably even different meat of the same cut won't always have the exact same same fresh to dehydrated weight ratio but I am sure there is a generalized number where it's always a little more or a little less then x to y. Hope this helps.
