After some looking around here in the forum and other places online I have found limited information on this combination and I wanted to post my info here. I have used Alliant and Hornady data to work up some loads for my Glock's. I wish I had access to a chronograph to give fps numbers.
Using 165gr FN FMJ my go to loading is 6.2gr's of BE-86, Win. small pistol primers, COAL of 1.12. I find this to be a very nice shooting round, not very snappy and I seem to be getting a clean burn.
Using 180gr JHP's I'm currently satisfied with 5.8gr's of BE-86, Win. small pistol primers, COAL of 1.12. This too is a very nice shooting round and runs clean. While working up the load I was close to what Hornady listed as their max load of 6.4gr and like the way 5.8gr felt recoil wise.
Does anyone else like to use BE-86 for 40 S&W loadings? Did you try using this powder, not like it and then find a powder you did like? I'd like to hear any and all experiences regarding BE-86 regardless of caliber. Thanks for reading!
