Thanks for that info.
I just saw a load for a 2 bore at 15 drams and 5 oz of shot so maybe 9 drams in a 4 is light. I just got a scientific approach from my brother: measure the volume of the 4" case, subtract the volume of the wads used, divide the difference by 2 and put in equal amounts of powder and shot. Hmmm? I'll measure it. |

10 drams of FFG it is.
Thanks! |

Far be it for me to say , however if it were me I think I’d go with the 85 grains of Blue Dot . But then I’m no fan of BP .

I thought about the Blue Dot. I'm kind of tired of the BP
cleanup. It's not my gun. It's an English side by side a friend just bought. I'm just the powder monkey. Inasmuch as I'll probably end up cleaning it maybe I'll use the blue dot. I would like to stone a couple of pigeons at the next live pigeon shoot with BP just for fun. |
