You have the load wrong.
Perhaps 6 drams?
Drams are a unit of volume (a dram of rum). About 1/8 fluid ounce.

NO, it is not! In this context a dram is a weight measure equal to 27 1/2** grains. 6 drams would be 165 grains. Without a bullet it will not develop significant pressure, and whether FFg or FFg is used is immaterial. Not knowing the condition of the gun you will shoot these is keeping to 3 to 3 1/2 Dr. would be a good idea, and you probably won't notice the difference in the report.
Strictly DWalt is correct, but functionally 27 1/2 is identical.
