Grain is the weight of the bullet. They are measured in grains as opposed to grams or ounces. I'm sorry I can't tell you where that started.

Powder is also measured in grains.

What is the benefit if any between 147 grain standard ammo and 124 grain plus p?

The 147 and 124 grain are bullet weights. The 124 grain bullet loaded to higher pressures (+P) will have a higher velocity than the standard load with a heavier 147 bullet. As far as penetration goes, I have seen tests where the 147 grain out performed the 115 grain +P but the 124 grain +P should be a good all around round.
