After shooting 16 gauge guns exclusively for the past 30 years I have settled on two powders. Unique for 7/8th ounce and light 1 ounce loads and HS6 (Winchester 540) for heavier field use in modern (post 1930s) guns. I used to use Blue Dot for 1 1/8th ounce loads but found I could get just as many birds with a 1 ounce load and avoid the abuse of the 1 1/8th load in my light 16 doubles.
