24 Νοε 2021 · What is dram and how is it relevant to shotgun shooters today? We'll explain and include a 12 gauge dram equivalent chart. Back in the old days, shooters didn't load shotshells with clean-burning, smokeless propellant.
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.
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.
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.
21 Ιαν 2008 · Dram equivalence (DE) does indeed refer to powder, and is a backhand way of describing muzzle velocity given a certain amount of shot. Take a look at ShotgunWorld's own dram equivalence chart. Keep the DE (powder) the same, decrease the amount of shot and the velocity goes up, etc.
27 Ιαν 2018 · This stands for Dram Equivalent. The first shotshells were loaded with black powder. Black powder volume was originally measured in “drams.” When companies switched from black powder to smokeless powder, they placed the Dram Equivalent on the box to give the shooter an indication of shot velocity.
9 Φεβ 2008 · In the popular 12-gauge, there are two 1-1/4-ounce loads: one is a 3-1/4 drams equivalent package; the other, a 3-3/4 drams equivalent load. The 3-1/4 drams rounds, often known as the "live pigeon" load, have a normal velocity of 1,220 f.p.s., while the 3-3/4 drams equivalent one runs about 1,330 f.p.s..
