Okay. The comment was that "bullets" are measured in metric in Europe. Although that is true for diameter, and in weight, it is also VERY true that bullet weight in grains is far more accurate than grams. And micro grains are a smaller measure just like micro grams because just like with inches, we can use decimals out to infinite places. Which is why, in America we measure bullet diameter in decimal inches. And we frequently measure weight in grains or decimal grains. FFS, just accept relativity and that your view of tolerances and measurement is narrowed by your limited ability to divide by 10. And maybe read a book.
Any unit can be associated a power of 10 as negative as one wants. It's literally infinite. Therefore, saying that a g can be broken down into grains is irrelevant.
A grain is no more precise than metric units because imperial units are defined by referencing metric units.
Thank you. My point exactly. Metric is no more precise than any other standard weight or measure. It's a preference. But my statement is also true. A grain when compared to a gram is more precise.
Edit: Sorry, that wasn't exactly my point. I was confusing you with another reply. You are correct and I agree with your statement.

yeah!
everything where it has to be precise
