black powder dram equivalent listing is based on observing that
3 drams or 82 grains of black powder could drive 492 grain
or 1.125 ounce load of shot out of a 12 gauge at 1200 fps
so
the amount of any modern propellant that can push one & an 8th of an ounce @
1200 fps velocity is then said to be the equivalent of 3 drams of black powder
&
shell reload data from factories say most of their 3 dram equivalent
shells start from 16.5 - 19.5 grains of Smokeless to work up from
as in
.60 - .73 drams of smokeless powder is equivalent to 3 drams black powder
or
a 4 or 5 to one ratio BY WEIGHT! NOT VOLUME!
