Is it true that if there is more smokeless powder in a bullet and is fired it will make the barrel hotter rather than a bullet with less smokeless powder?

How many grains of powder in a 44 magnum bullet?
BULLETS are the metal projectile- the thing that comes out of the barrel- and contain no powder. The entire round of ammo is a CARTRIDGE (case, primer, powder, bullet). And there is no one answer for a .44 magnum cartridge- powder charge will vary, depending on WHICH powder is used, and which weight of bullet.
How do you tell the powder load in a gun cartridge?
The only way to be certain is to remove the bullet with a bullet puller, empty out the powder, and weigh it.
Is a bullet a bullet if there is no powder and no primer present?
Yes. The bullet is only the projectile. A bullet with case, powder, and primer is a cartridge. A cartridge without powder or primer is called a dummy cartridge because it will fit into a firearm but will not fire. Dummies are used for non firing training with weapons, and for display purposes.
What does the grain mean in a bullet?

How fast does a typical bullet travel from a rifle?

What type of powder and bullet do you use for a CVA Bobcat black powder rifle?
Black powder, or a BP substitute such as Pyrodex. NEVER use smokeless powder. For bullets, either a lead bullet made for muzzleloaders, or a muzzleloading sabot and matching bullet. You need to read the owner's manual. If you do not have one, contact CVA thru their website.
