No. Nor should you.

My question is does anyone know how many grams

That would be 'grains' and you need to refer to published load data for the powder and bullet combo.

in the United States ,bullets and powder are measured in Grains,not grams. Search the 'net for powder companies data, lots of it out there, guessing is asking for big trouble.

5.4 grams = 83.3 grains

Go directly to the manufacturer of the powder for questions like that.
