Very close. Pure liquid densities are consistent across brands, so the pounds to pints conversion for buttermilk typically varies by less than 2-3%.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A pound of buttermilk fills a different number of pints than a pound of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
