Default wing loading?

Hi :
I have been building and flying for a long time and really never gave wing loading too much consideration..........up til now!!
I've built a GP Super Skybolt 60 and most posts I've read say it weighs 10+ lbs.
I just weighed mine and it came to 9.2 lbs.
930 square inches wing area....is the wing loading 9.2 lbs times 16 divided by the wing area?
If so, should be around 16oz per square inch!!
Is this a good number with a OS1.08 on the nose?
