The term “dram equivalent” is a holdover from the days when shotshells were loaded with blackpowder. Blackpowder is (or at least was) measured in “drams.” This is a weight measure, where 16 drams equal one ounce.
11 Απρ 2006 · Does anyone know if there is a table or chart that tells the dram equivalence and velocity for different oz loads? Sometimes boxes of shells only say the velocity and I don't know what the dram equivalence is.
7 Φεβ 2017 · Here’s how you figure dram equivalency: In 12 gauge, a standard 3 dram load with 1-1/8 oz of shot travels 1200 fps. Each 1/4 dram equivalent that you add increases velocity 55 fps. Each 1/8 oz of shot that you add subtracts 35 fps.
27 Ιαν 2018 · While less commonly used today, the Dram Equivalent can still give the shooter an idea of the muzzle velocity. This requires knowing the gauge, shot weight and the dram equivalent. An easy-to-use conversion table can be found on the internet. Some shell boxes may show the velocity as “Max.” (maximum) or “MAG.” (magnum), which may ...
28 Ιουλ 2023 · Drams in shotgun ammo are a crucial aspect of determining the performance and effectiveness of the load. Understanding different dram weights and their uses empowers shooters to select the most appropriate ammunition for specific shooting applications.
