From a Google search.....Basically it means squat to us today! "Today's shotgun shells use smokeless powder, but “drams equivalent” indicates the shotshell velocity produced with the equivalent amount of black powder once used in the earliest ammunitions. A box of shotgun shells labeled “3 Dram Equivalent” means it possesses the force of 3 drams of black powder." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krdshrk 3,872 Posted March 13, 2018 Cheaper than Dick's when they have 'em on sale for $4.98/box (plus tax). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted March 13, 2018 For beginners in the Sporting Clays game. To minimize recoil you would want a 12 gauge, 2-3/4", 2-3/4 dram, 1-1/8 oz #7 1/2 shot. Muzzle velocity of 1145 FPS. #8 would work just as well on days with little or no wind. If you have a SA you may need a 3 dram load (1190FPS) to cycle the gun. Most ranges will not allow shot larger than 7-1/2. on the clays courses or faster than 1250-1300 FPS. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pew Pew Plates 358 Posted March 13, 2018 Ordered 19 flats that should last a few months. Came out to $48.60/flat with tax and discounted gift cards 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your UPS guy may not like you as much. Check carefully, last time they shipped the Remington boxes sucked and had two repacks from UPS. Cabelas made good with no problems.
