There is no powder in the bullet at all.

A bullet is just the projectile, typically made from lead and copper. Powder is contained in the cartridge casing.

The actual amount depends on the powder used, but on average a .50 BMG cartridge would contain about 220 grains of powder. This is equal to 14.5 grams or 7.76 ounces.

Is a 50 caliber bullet measured differently than a 5.56 caliber bullet. if so how is the 50 larger than the 5.56?

They are most certainly measured differently. The "50" in 50 caliber is measuring in inches and should actually be referred in writing as ".50 Caliber." 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.
