What is proper:
Is it GR (grain) the abbreviation for bullet weight?
Is it GN (grain) the abbreviation for powder weight?
Or does it really matter which abbreviation you use?
I have noticed that some people use Gr to describe the grain weight of the bullet weight or lead weight and that some people use Gn to describe grains of powder weight, and some people use both to describe both bullet grain weight and powder grain weight. I have processed my brain to describe GR as weight of the bullet and GN to describe the weight of the grain amount of powder in the reload.
Does it matter???
I like to decipher GR to mean projectile weight and GN to mean powder weight, helps me keep them straight.
