Special Agent J.M. Keith's 1933 Bureau of Investigation letter cites bullet weight in grams, not grains. This means his 158 gram 38 Special round would weigh in at just over one third of a pound (0.3483268 lbs.) and his 200 gram 45 APC bullet will weigh almost half a pound (0.44 lbs.).
Based upon the FBI's firearms/ammo selection track record, many people, myself included, don't have much faith in their decisions.
And what's sad is, what the FBI does is copied by hundreds, if not thousands, of local law enforcement agencies.
