Ok, here’s what I know: dram equivalent gives you an idea of the muzzle velocity of a shot charge. It compares smokeless powder to the performance of black powder. A 3 3/4  1 1/4 denotes a shot charge of one and one quarter ounces exiting the muzzle at 1,330 fps. It’s the old “high velocity field load”. Therefore a 3   1 1/8 is one and one eighth ounces of shot moving at approx 1,200 fps. A 2 3/4   1 1/8, then, is the same one and one eighth moving at approx 1,145 fps.

What I don’t know is how to back calculate a load, say 1 1/8 ounce load at 1,000 fps. Is that a 2 1/4  1 1/8 (approximately)? Anybody got dope on how to do this?

So, I've been helping organize and clearing Sylvia's stuff for Jay. He couldn't handle her clothes without breaking down. I hired a neighbor who specializes in estate stuff. Her task for today was the clothing.
Jay called at 10pm in a panic. Sylvia's niece (basically her daughter) was promised her wedding dress. They were panicked that the wedding dress went to the salvation army. I was instantly able to direct them to its location. She plans on getting married in it. Thankfully,  the neighbor that does this for a living recognized it as something special. She did the organizing, I was just labor. It pays to hire a pro! As it turns out, the neighbor works with the same law firm that I hired to make up my will.
In this time of grief, it was nice to provide a little measure of happiness.
