Anyone tried this combo yet? Alliant's website lists some loads for other cartridges with this relatively new powder, but none for the 44 special.
Unique is normally my go-to powder for the relatively low powdered "special" revolver rounds, but I havent found any for sale at resonable prices for a many months, maybe years. I have heard, on multiple occasions, that BE86 is very similar to Unique. My LGS seems to have a steady supply of this BE86 so I'm gonna give it a shot.
Data is scarce with this powder, especially in 44spl. I have a feeling it will work well if I can just find a good starting point. If nothing else I may try some slightly reduced Unique numbers and go from there.
I will be using 200gr cast bullets from SNS, special brass, in a 44 mag Redhawk, 7.5 inch barrel. Any pointers would be appreciated.
