    Works well in 9mm, 9mm Makarov & 45acp. Sorry don't have a 40. I like the Alliant BE-86 powder.

        I have been working through #8 of BE86 for some time now.
        9mm, 40, 45auto, .357 and 44 mag all work pretty well.

            I really like BE-86. It's the only powder I use for 9mm and 40 loads.

                Keep them, you'll need them after you quit using that BE-86. BE-86 is junk but you can send t to me and I'll dispose of it for you properly

                There is a very long BE-86 thread, on THR I think. Search and you will find it if you've not already seen it.

                I've been using it for most of the year and I really don't see a need to use anything else for my simple 9MM paper plinking needs.

                  It's a very versatile powder right in the Unique neighborhood of burn rate and meters very well. I've been using it in reduced power range fodder for my .44 Mag & .454 Casull and some .45 ACP. Even at reduced pressure it leaves the inside of my brass very clean compared to Bullseye & Green Dot.

                  A friend loads 9mm with Power Pistol & my .45 ACP loads had zilch flash compared to his Power Pistol loads.

                  I was so impressed I went ahead & bought 8# of it.

                      Lol. Yes that be86 is horrible. Lmao and rotfl.
                      Yes been researching powders for pistol. After trying a bunch of different powders im thinking i should have bought two 8 pounders instead of the tg.
                      Anyone want to trade? Tg for be86?
