New to Reloading

[I Dont Care About You]

Perhaps there is another cartridge with 243 in the name that bearhunter is worried might be confused with the 243 Winchester,

He specified 243 Winchester. I wasn't replying to the OP.

in those grain weights

A "grain" is a unit of weight. You would never say, "... in those pound weights" or, "... in those ounce weights" so why say, "... grain weight"? It is nonsensical.

Maybe we should be using KERNEL for the individual pieces and leave grains with one meaning so we don’t blow up a new reloader.

Absolutely. Kernel of powder is the long accepted nomenclature as used in almost every reloading manual ever written.
