Bound's hubby here:
A grain is a very precise unit of measurement. a grain is 1/7000th of a pound ... 7000 grains to a pound.
In rifle and pistol ammunition, the bullet weight is expressed in grains, as is the powder charge. For example, a typical .308 Winchester target round would be a 168 grain Sierra MatchKing loaded on top of 41.5 grains of Accurate Arms 2520 powder.

Grain Measurement

A grain is a unit measure of weight. There are 7000 grains to 1 pound or roughly 15.5 grains per gram.
A 55 grain bullet is about 0.13 ounces or 3.6 grams.
Grains refer to two things in a round of ammunition. The bullet weight is expressed in grains and the weight of the power charge is expressed in grains (except in shotguns which I believe is expressed in fractions of an ounce). If you do not reload, you have no reason to worry about the weight of the powder charge, only the weight of the bullet.

I'm eighteen and sans kiddlywinks. I'm prepared to be told no by the future father of my children to all but one name. Dean is my absolutely favourite name of all time. I have been completely in love with it for nearly seven years now and that's not going to change. If the future father of my children has issues with the name, there is going to be trouble. I'm not prepared to let this go without a fight. It may seem selfish, but I'm really quite fussy with boy names and I can already picture myself with a little Dean. I'm not sure how I would feel if the roles were reversed. If he is set on a name like Kaiydehn (no offence intended with this, it's just -really- not my style) I'll tell him straight up that it's not going to happen. I'd feel bad if he feels the same love for the name as I do for Dean, but no. I'm not having it. At the end of the day, I'm aware that it's important for parents to choose a name together. I just don't know how I'll react until I'm in that situation. I expect I'll have a paddy, but from there... I don't know. I'd either have to choose another name or threaten him into submission. Neither are pleasant options. Ohh, I hope I'm never put in that position!

THE GRAIN IS A UNIT OF MEASURE USED FOR BOTH POWDER AND PROJECTILE
A 55 GRAIN BULLET BEING SMALL AND USED IF FOR EXAMPLE 22-250 CAL OR A .223 CAL AS OPPOSED TO SAY A 180 OR 200 GRAIN BULLET USED IN SOMETHING LIKE A 300 MAGNUM
THE LARGER THE GRAIN WEIGHT THE LARGER THE PROJECTILE
LIKEWISE WHEN RELAODING AMMO THE MORE GRAIN WEIGHT USED MEANS THE MORE POWDER VOLUME OF THE SAME TYPE OF POWDER

Grain is the weight of the bullet that reaches the target. It is NOT any reference to the powder.
