I am glad you guys are having success with BE-86, but I really would have been shocked if you were not.
Professional ballisticians have utilized this powder for almost 30 years, and we have produced millions of pounds of it since.
As a hint, perhaps try 45Auto 185gr jacketed, 9mm 124gr, 40S&W 165gr. It can also be used to push 147gr 9mm, but I prefer Power Pistol(R) for full power loads there. We have one large ammo manufacturer, that shall remain nameless, that uses BE-86 in their Gold Medal Match 45Auto 185gr.
Another application that BE-86 has worked really well is 38Spl+P. Medium power 357Mag is another, but you have figured that already. We had one large mfg that was using BE-86 in a 125grJHP duty load, and that surprised me, but the engineer for that product said he wanted 1350ft/sec, accuracy and low sd's, and BE-86 was best for that.
Thanks for trying our "new" canister pistol powder. Hopefully the supply issues let up soon and everyone can get what they want, when they want, and BE-86 will be readily available.
Shoot well,
Paul
