Loaded these on top of 6.0 of BE86 and I clocked them at about 935fps - so I need to back down. Otherwise they shot great. First shot was an X

My standard load is 3.7 grns Bullseye under 200 grn SWC, runs a little over 700FPS.

Seems BE86 is a slower burning powder. Not sure if you can get to that slow, but if you can, might be a good shooter.

=============
never used BE86 but that looks about right
seems like the alliant load data is a little on the heavy side.
I like to run 200swc at about 800 fps for routine practice ammo.

What did you really want to do with those bullets, and what other fast burning powder do you have to work with?

no problem then

I'm pretty sure I've seen load data for bullseye and 200 LSWC written in the bible...King James version, book of Matthew IIRC
