10mm BE-86 and 135gr Nosler Loads?

As far as I know BE-86 is the improved version of Power Pistol. I found one set of data in my Reloaders reference for 135 JHP in 10mm: 10.6gr Power Pistol, Velo = 1530, Qal = 1.25, Pressure = 35600.

I thought about loading some 135gr in 10mm myself but most advised against it. At some point I'll try it anyways.. just for funsies. But not before my chrono is working properly.
 
BE-86 is SIMILAR TO Power Pistol, but they have different burn rates, DO NOT USE POWER PISTOL data to load with BE-86.
You can use the BE-86 load data for HEAVIER BULLETS of the same type(plated/jacket/lead) with lighter weight bullets in your caliber because heavy bullets use a lower MIN/MAX powder charge than lower weight bullets.
Over on THE HIGH ROAD FORUM there is an excellent thread on the use of BE-86 with several calibers.
Just search for BE-86.
Hope this helps...

I don't have any BE-86 load data, but I have played with the 135's over Power Pistol and Longshot trying to duplicate something like the CORBON loads. Power Pistol shot best for me around 10.5 grains under the 135, but like others have already said I would NOT recommend utilizing Power Pistol data For BE-86.
