Most of us have seen breech loading guns with the charge engraved in drams. But apparently before this 1878 English law, the drachm was used in conjunction with muzzle loading charges.




FWIW my 1862 James Purdey and Sons cartridge rifle has the charge engraved, and the only dram that would fit is the 1/16 oz dram.

That's before the 1878 date that you mention. I'm citing a cartridge rifle, but it's something to note.




Cheers
