Blue Dot is a “magnum” powder. For 16 gauge, it loads 1 1/8 oz loads at high velocity (1250+ fps). It will not provide what you seek. Sell what you have and buy some good powder. (I don’t even like Blue Dot for magnum loads.)

Years ago, I used a small quantity of Blue Dot for heavy lead waterfowl loads and it worked fine. However, we don't do that any more. I agree with the last poster. Sell your powder.
