Gasp! Nope. Didn't know that. Not as much talk about how airguns work where I hang out, so I guess I was going off old data there.
Yet, people use the term "powder" all the time, and no one gets their semantic panties in a wad. Smokeless propellant grains are pellets, flakes, tubes, balls, strips, cords, sheets, or occasionally, cylinders, with or without multiple holes in it, not a "powder."

Rosettes, I forgot the rosettes.
Yet if packaging for a magazine has the word "clip" on it, everyone goes bonkers.
Years ago I had these three clips which I sent to another member. I had no use for them. The 225 was a Revelation model number for a Savage Model 340 Bolt Action rifle. So if it is a magazine why dis the guys who made it put "Clip For" on it. I had some interesting replies on that question. The image sort of defies the entire magazine/clip thing.Yet if packaging for a magazine has the word "clip" on it, everyone goes bonkers.
I just don't get it.
In technical literature they are referred to as "grains".Might be best to call the particles "granules" to avoid confusion with grains Avoirdupois on the scale.
Perhaps if you listen - you might learn what’s what!Basically anyone in the shooting, and particularly reloading, community are word snobs. Use the wrong term according to their definition and they will be more than happy to point out your mis-speak. Ignore them, it is a no win argument.
