Zero. A bullet is only one component of a self-contained cartridge, the others being the case, powder, and primer. The bullet itself is usually composed of a lead core and may have a copper jacket. 100 grains is the mass of the bullet itself, and depending on the dimensions of the case, powder type used, and design of the firearm, differing amounts of powder may safely be used. Refer to a reloading manual for specific powder measurements regarding starting and maximum loads, as every kind of gunpowder has unique characteristics. NEVER assume that one powder (measured by weight, mass, volume, or otherwise) will produce the same pressure curve as the same amount of a different powder. ALWAYS check load data for the exact cartridge in question, with the exact powder in question. If a table is not available, don't risk it.

How many grains of powder are in a 40 cal round?
There are a lot of variables involved with the number of grains of powder in any given caliber round. Most importantly are the type of powder and the weight of the bullet. After that is the loader's preference as to the velocity of the round. For example, I load a 155 grain .40 caliber bullet using Ramshot Zip powder for a "light" velocity of about 1050 feet per second using 5.3 - 5.4 grains of powder.

How many grains of powder in a 223 bullet?
A bullet is the metal projectile that flies out of the barrel. A cartridge is the case, powder, bullet and primer all put together. A typical bullet weight for a 223 is 55 grains, although they come lighter and heavier. The weight of the powder inside the case will vary from (roughly) 22 grains to 28 grains, depending on what kind of powder you use and how heavy the bullet is. If you are going to reload 223 ammunition, get a good reloading manual for specific amounts.
How many grams of lead are in a bullet?
Depends on the bullet. A few have NO lead. Bullet weights are usually given in GRAINS rather than grams- a 110 grain bullet, like the M1 Carbine, weighs 7.1 grams. Bullet for a .22 short is about 29 grains, for a LARGE rifle, maybe 500 grains.
How many grains of powder in a 44 magnum bullet?
BULLETS are the metal projectile- the thing that comes out of the barrel- and contain no powder. The entire round of ammo is a CARTRIDGE (case, primer, powder, bullet). And there is no one answer for a .44 magnum cartridge- powder charge will vary, depending on WHICH powder is used, and which weight of bullet.
How many shells can you reload using A grains of 1lb of powder?
Grain is a unit of weight. There are 7000 grains in a pound. The number of grains loaded intoeach cartridge will vary, dpending on the cartidge, and on the powder used. IF it were 7 grains per catridge, you could reload 1000 cartridges. Divide 7000 by the weight of powder for each cartridge.
How many grains in a 22 caliber bullet?
It depends on Long, LR, Extra Long, etc. I would say average grain is about 40.
How many grains of powder in 5.56?
It depends greatly on the weight of the projectile, and the exact type of powder used. Though in general, the grain weight of a 5.56 powder charge is between 20 and 26 grains. Much more than that won't fit in the case.
How many grains of gun powder is needed for a 204 ruger using a bullet weight of 26 grains with the AR2206H powder?
You need to talk to a gunsmith. DO NOT TRY TO DEVELOP A LOAD WITHOUT TALKING TO A GUNSMITH!!!!!!!!!! <><><><> Please check for data from the powder manufacturer, the bullet manufacturer, or reloading manuals. Asking for load data from an anonymous open source such as WikiAnswers could be extremely dangerous, since anyone may answer a question here. I COULD be 12 years old, and Mom does not know I am using the computer. Please see the link at the bottom of the page. Your powder is sold in the US as Hodgdon H4895. Have not seen loads for a 26 grain bullet.
