Alliant BE-86 is a versatile double-base smokeless pistol powder designed for high performance and consistent metering. It is similar in burn rate to powders like Unique and Power Pistol but includes a flash suppressant, making it especially suitable for low-light shooting. BE-86 delivers excellent velocity, clean combustion, and reliable accuracy across a wide range of handgun cartridges such as 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. Its balanced burn characteristics allow for strong performance in both standard and +P loads. Many shooters value BE-86 for its flexibility, efficiency, and reduced muzzle flash.
