What Is Bullet Grain? The Advantages / Disadvantages of Heavier and Lighter Bullets

Wondering what bullet grains are? This video defines bullet grain and dives into the major advantages and disadvantages of using heavier bullets versus light bullets.

Many people think grains refer to the amount of gun powder in a cartridge; however, bullet grains refer to the weight of a bullet.

NOTE: The advantages and disadvantages discussed primarily apply to your average pistol shooter. With long-range shooting, things get more complex, and we need to consider ballistic coefficient and velocity more.
