I like the be-86.
I use 8.0 gr of PowerPoint and 7.6 gr of BE-86 with 180 gr Hornady XTP and 1.25 COL for 10MM. Both shoot well.
I have been eyeing n105 for 357 but wondering if you tried that and had a result that wasn't good.I really only load VV powders but for longshot 10mm

The only vv experience I have is n135 in 308 and 223. The n110 or 105 was to be the nest one to try.I have as well but it’s not available locally to me that I can find.
Have you used 3N37 or 3N38 with hot magnum loads? If so, what were your results?
Thanks!
I've used Blue Dot and 800X and both did well.
I tested 10mm with BE-86. Results are attached.

800X is the cats meow for 10MM. Glad I still have 4 lbs left.
Unfortunately I'm out. Same with 700X - just enough kernels to make noise in the can. 800X is almost comical relating to the granule size of the powder. It is HUGE.
We call them cornflakes. Was down to 1 lb but ran into some last year at a gun show. Grabbed all 3 he had.
I've heard it described as "it meters like paper plates"
I'd like to run across some but I'm not usually that lucky.

I was lucky enough to pick up 3 lbs of AA#9 recently, so I'll be loading up a bunch of test loads with that soon.
AA#9 seems to like the 200’s better than 180’s. Stick with Longshot for 180’s.
So far my carry load when I head out into the woods is the Montana Bullets 200 grain RNFP over a heavy charge of Longshot.
What software is that, donut1953?
