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.

I shot a couple Pheasent cock birds with my hammer 8 gauge at a tower shoot in WVA in January . I got a charge out of that to say the least .
