Rainy week ahead so it's loading time..
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.
