Is I understand it, Blue Dot Powder has the same pressure curve as black powder. The difference is that a much smaller quantity of Blue Dot is used to create those pressures. One of the principle reasons for using reduced loads in older shotguns is to protect the old wood. Even is the shotgun barrel has thick solid walls I would use a reduced load in an old gun.
