Skinny Shooter, The weights and measures table in Daniel Webster Collegiate Dictionary says a dram is equal to 27.343 grains. That multiplies out in my book at 82.029 grains for a 3 dram load. The guys at Hodgdon once told me to use about 80 grains of double F in a 12 gauge load. That sounds reasonable. Mr. 16 Gauge, drams are not listed in the volume tables, only weight.
