Does grain equal powder or bullet?
Grain is a unit of weight, like pounds ounces or grams. There are 7000 grains to a US pound. Both bullets and powder charges are measured in grains. However, when referring to a particular version of a cartridge, grain will USUALLY refer to the weight of the bullet- as in a 125 gr. .357- they are speaking of a .357 Magnum cartridge loaded with a 125 grain bullet.

Mauser7.65 cal what type of ammo dose this gun use?
Two types of 7.65 pistols were manufactured.. depending on the date of manufacture, it would either be the 7.65x21 Parabellum (which was replaced in German service by the 9x19 Parabellum), or it may be 7.65x17SR (which is sold commercially as the .32 ACP). Mauser manufactured pistols in both calibers.
If you're referring to the Mauser rifles, what you have is probably one of the Argentine Mausers (they made a number of different models, with the Modelo 1909 being most common). These were manufactured in Germany for the Argentinians, and fire a 7.65x54 cartridge. Surplus ammunition for this rifle is a bit uncommon, but still can be found if you search in the right places.
Why are higher grain ammo more powerful than lower grain ammo?
I don't remember the formula for it, specifically, but in layman's terms, the force of the round on impact will be determined by a combination of weight and velocity. The more you have of either, the more force you'll have on impact.
Well, my answer did not get here quite as fast as the previous statements. It was long, so I'll try and make it quick...higher grain ammo does NOT mean that it is more powerful. All it means is that it has more weight to the bullet, but there are MANY factors that make a bullet more or less "powerful" such as bullet and case design, type of gun powder and primer, etc. Plus, in what context do you mean "power"? Power could be penetration, superior ballistics, lethality...etc. Good, but complicated question.
There are dozens of brands of .32 S&W cartridges, but I would strongly suggest that you have your revolver examined by a gunsmith that has knowledge of older revolvers before shooting ANYTHING in it. Early .32 revolvers (including some of the Forehand & Wadsworth guns) were made for BLACK POWDER cartridges- and while the .32 S&W is not a powerhouse of a cartridge, some of the older revolvers were not meant to use modern ammunition which is loaded with smokeless powder, and has much higher pressures.
What is the difference in a 380 and a 40 caliber bullet?
The .380 ACP has an actual bullet diameter of .355 inches, versus the .4005 inch diameter of the .40 S&W bullet. Additionally, the cartridge length of the .40 is considerably longer - 22mm, versus the 17mm cartridge length of the .380 ACP. The .40 is a considerably more powerful round, and typically requires a delayed blowback system of operation, whereas most .380 pistols are unlocked breech direct blowback pistols.
