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.

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.
