This question was intended for shotgun. I went to buy some powder and asked the clerk what to use. I told him that my Dad liked Herco for huunting loads and Red Dot for trap. He said that my Dad must have been about his age because the people of an older generation had very good results from Herco and did not want to change. He then went on to inform me that the two are very compatible with minor differences. Mainly, the Blue Dot has a louder " bark" to it but less recoil. He recommended to me since I might be loading some heavier loads to try Blue Dot. I did, and I like it.

Your opinions?
