    BE-86

    One of my favorite plinking loads for the 44 Magnum is 8.9 grs BE-86 under a 240 gr SNS Coated SWC. It chronographs at 1087.6 fps (10 shot average) out of a 7 1/2 inch barrel). It is as accurate as I am and has an SD of 5.2 FPS.

    327 magnum 115gr GDHP no longer made?

    I don't think the 115 gr Gold Dot load has been discontinued. Every where you check they are sold out. The 100 gr Gold Dot was not brought out to replace the 115 gr Gold Dot, it was brought out in addition to the 115 gr. The Speer 327 Federal Magnum 115 gr Gold Dot is probably the most popular...
