Grains is a unit of weight:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_(unit)There are 7000 grains in 1 pound. Thus one grain is 1/7000th of a pound.As with smokeless powder, you can dispense black powder volumetrically with great precision if you have good equipment and use it consistently. But the gold standard is with a precision scale, and you should always check and confirm your volumetric drops by scale.Most reproduction .44 revolvers, like the 1860 Army or the Remington New Model Army will develop maximum accuracy around 18-20 grains of black powder. Big guns like the Walker may have an accuracy sweet spot around 45 grains of powder.It depends on what kind of shooting you want to do. If you are looking for maximum precision then you will probably want to use reduced loads. If you are looking for maximum power then you will want "full house" loads. If you are looking for historical load data you'll be looking at somewhere in between.
