The "5.56" is in millimeters (mm) and should be written as "5.56mm".To compare the two:.50 Caliber = 1/2 inch = 12.7mm5.56mm = ~ .2189 inchSo the .50 caliber bullet is roughly 2.28 times wider than the 5.56mm caliber bullet.

Caliber is in reference to the diameter of the bullet. A .40 (which is what I have) is .40 inches in diameter. A .50 caliber is .50 inches in diameter (half an inch). So a caliber is the inches in diameter. Not including the 9mm which I cannot stand


What is the difference in grains of bullets for black powder?

The grains of a bullet, be it black powder or not , is the weight of the bullet. Lets say you have a .50 caliber rifle, and fire a 250 grain bullet at a target and hit dead center. Then fire a 300 grain bullet, that bullet will hit slightly lower on the target , but will have more force or stopping power" due to the weight. So the higher the grain the heaver the bullet.
