Hope you guys can give me some insight.
(9mm) I've been pushing a 130gr cast Truncated Cone bullet with 3.9gr of Bullseye. I am out of Bullseye and have a can of BE86.
Alliant lists 5.7gr (I realize that is max) and, on another forum, someone told me they ran 4.7 of it. So I felt pretty comfortable starting at 5.0gr. Here's the thing though - My last load ran so good out of my new pistol that I want to try to use a charge of BE86 that will be as close as possible to 3.9 of Bullseye.
I guess what I'm asking is - how do I replicate my load with this powder? I know 5.0gr would be a good starting point but I don't know how it compares to 3.9gr of Bullseye. Unfortunately, I no longer have a backstop in my backyard, to test loads, and am going to load a couple hundred (at least) before I can pop the first one. I don't want mess with a load that works, but this is the powder I have on hand. So....
Thanks
