I was having a problem finding Bullseye gun powder. While I was looking at a local sporting goods store for powder I was told I my want to try BE-86. I purchased the powder but had trouble finding load data for my 45 ACP. What I started to find were guys talking about using BE-86 in a 357 Mag. Is there anyone out there using BE-86 in a 357 Mag and how is it working for you?

Here is the Alliant site that has load data.

BE86 has worked very nicely for me and my loads.
start 10% low and work up from there to find what you like.
This BE86 is a thread you can read, its a little old.

Thanks Stovepipe
I already checked out the Alliant website. Not much there to be honest. We cast our own bullets and purchase plated and jacketed bullets. So we try a few different loads with every caliber we load. I have been a fan of 2400 for all of y 357's. It shoots good in all of them. I did a little research and it looks like BE-86 would almost cut my powder usage in half in the 357. BE-86 belts out the velocity from what I read so far.
