looking at online Alliant load data for 40 S&W, they list a full 1 grain difference for 165 grain bullets, max be86 load for a JHP is 6.5 grains while the load for FMC is 7.5 grains, seating depth/OAL are both the same.
wondering why there is such a difference depending on bullet design in bullets of the same weight.
BE86 has become one of my favorite powders for 9mm, 40 S&W, 38 spl and have had good experience with it in less than max velocity loads in 357 mag, 41 mag and 44 mag, works as good if not better than unique with cast bullets, less flash, complete burn, less soot
