Grain is the weight of the bullet. They are measured in grains as opposed to grams or ounces. I'm sorry I can't tell you where that started.
Powder is also measured in grains.

As far as penetration goes, I have seen tests where the 147 grain out performed the 115 grain +P but the 124 grain +P should be a good all around round.
