Alliant BE-86 for Handgun Loads

[SMSgtRod]

I've had some really good performance with this powder.
Use in most everything from 9mm to 45's.

Anyone else using it?

Either the hs6 or the be86 is very clean. I was picking up fired cases and was confused and thought I had new brass.

What bullets and calibers do you use the 2 in?

 

[SMSgtRod]

9, SIG, 38, 40 for BE-86
40 for HS-6

Bullets are from RMR, Badman, Eggleston

On many occasions I'll go through a can or more of powder in a loading session.
Depends on what it is being loaded.

This is a powder I keep planning to get, but it’s always out of stock locally. I haven’t heard anything bad about it.

Exactly why I buy three at a time when I get it locally. Usually all they have in stock. You must be following me in to the store!

Just go online and check for 1 cent or no hazmat charges. Bruno, Midsouth Shooters, Brownell's and Midway USA is a good place too look!
