Going to get caught up on some reloading this week with cans of brass to clean. Working on some 45 ACP loading using BE-86 for the first time and from what I read it works well. Finished up a batch of 230 XTP SD ammo using Unique and now to range ammo with BE-86. Plenty of the stuff at my LGS for 40 bucks a pound.

forty, I tried 5.6gr BE-86 in my 1911-A1 with 230gr LRN coated and it worked well. A wee bit snappier, but it all worked fine. Accuracy seemed good.
Think you'll like that powder.

Thanks for your results Tom! I loaded some at 6.2 gr and will see how it does. They show 7.0 as max on Alliant site.
