I just scored 2 pounds of Alliant BE-86 and have discovered that load data for this powder is very scarce. I have some data for .45 Colt and .45 ACP. I really liked the .45 Colt loads. Now I want to load .44 Special and possibly .44 Magnum (light). I can find nothing! Even the Alliant Web site has no data for .44 and BE-86.

People seem to like to compare it to Unique. I'm wondering how safe I would be directly translating my Unique data (which I have plenty of) to BE-86. Thoughts? Not a good practice, I know. However I need to start somewhere.

I also would appreciate any forum members sharing their BE-86 .44 load data, especially .44 Special.

Thanks!
