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.

Depends on the bullet weight AND the type of powder used.


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 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 40 cal?

Let's discuss some terms. GRAINS used in this context is a measure of weight. The weight will depend on WHICH powder is used, and WHICH weight bullet is used. It may vary from 4.5 grains to 12 grains. For your own safety, NO ONE should ask for load data from an open site such as Wikianswers. For all you can tell, I am 11 years old, and Mom does not know I am on the computer. (I'm not, and she knows) PLEASE obtain load data from the powder and bullet maker sites- trusted data.

How many grains of powder go in a 100 grain bullet?

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.
