Weight of a paper is determined by weighing 500 sheets of that paper at its industry standard size. 50 lb text stock commonly used for magazines comes in standard sheets of 25"x38" (on which printers will print 16 letter sized pages, 8 on each side, folding and cutting/trimming the sheet to get 16 magazine pages) so 500 sheets of this size equals 50 pounds.
