Hopefully grain - because grams are a pretty course unit of measurement (1 gram = 15.4 grains).Gram or grain? I haven't seen or heard of anyone using a gram as a weight for powder.

I do way better than hitting a pie plate. For hunting out to 150 yards you don’t have to weigh charges. You are 100% correct that it is more consistent and accurate. But for me, the advantages don’t outweigh the extra trouble.Tom: There is a standard and it is WEIGHT. You just used the term "grain of volume". As I pointed out in my previous post, there is no such thing as a "grain" of volume. That's how commonly the term is misused on this forum.
Weighing charges is the only way to get real accuracy. I someone wants only to hit a pie plate at 50 yds, then volume measuring is adequate. But it's inconsistent and not good enough for real, sub moa accuracy.
Does that little brass device say grains on it somewhere? I don’t see that in the photo. They could be drams, milliliters or cubic centimeters too if they’re not labeled. Show me a book, internet link or any reference material that shows grain as a unit of measurement of volume. You won’t find one because it doesn’t and never has existed. It’s a term being misused commonly.

Thats the exact volume measure that I use for hunting. I don’t care about 2 gr here or 3 gr there. Just put the measure on the line or 1/2 way in between (roughly 5 gr different is close enough for me). But i use this for every single load I throw.
I suspect that the
Now that’s funny
............................ I don’t have any black horn with me right now so I can’t measure the volume to weight comparison of Blackhorn,...................
Now compress the powder in the little brass device to the same incremental mark as the previous charge and see what the weights is
