I opened my email and I was surprised at their load data for BE-86 . It seems way off from everything thing else that I have seen on it , very low in comparison .
Do your own research and verify :
Sierra Load Data
Bullets :
124gr fmj v crown OAL 1.09
125gr fmj match 1.09
125gr jhp. 1.03
125gr jhp v crown 1.03
Start 3.7 @ 900 fps
Max 4.7 @ 1100 fps
Alliant Load Data
Bullets :
124gr Federal FMC max 5.8 L 1.12”
124gr Federal JHP max 5.9 oal 1.12
With my RMR and Xtreme 124 gr RN bullets , I was going to start at 5.2 gr OAL 1.14 and work up . I haven’t seen this much difference in load data before , usually Hornady is a little conservative . I see that the COAL is a lot less also in the Sierra data . Could that be the reason for the low charges ?
