I agree 100% also with sabotloader. For your safety and for others who may be around you, I would not be shooting BH from your plunger rifle.

Comparing propellants only goes just so far, then it becomes like comparing a 5oz firecracker to 5oz of C4. Each propellant has its own distinct properties, such as ignition, burn rates and pressures. Might I suggest that you contact the folks at Western (BH209) for their recommendations..........
