There is not much data on BE-86 in 40S&W, so I decided to work up a few loads in 40.
I have been impressed with the performance of the BE-86 loads, with basically all of them grouping good. Some obviously better, and others with just one flyer.
Following is the chrono data from my test today, and two of the better groupings.
Testing was done with a SIG P229 at 10yards from a rest with standard combat sights and a 3.9" barrel. The chrono was about 9ft in front of the barrel.
