New load for 9mm
I am running out of 700X and have 8 pounds of Alliant BE-86. I use a 125gr. lead Semi-wadcutter with a polly coating. The closest I can find in the Alliant book is a lead, round nose. I am thinking that this bullet is close to what I am using, the only difference is the round nose and the poly coating. The book calls for a max load of 5.7 with this lead bullet. If I start with 5 gr. I should have a safe load but will it perform well. I am going to make some up next week and give it a try.

Try 4.2 gr. That matches my 130gr LSWC load.

5.2 - 5.4 grs of BE-86 with a 124gr RN at 1.130. Very accurate.
