Alliant BE-86 Pistol Powder Multi-Caliber Smokeless 1lb Container

Alliant BE-86 delivers consistent velocities and clean-burning performance across multiple pistol calibers. This double-base smokeless powder provides competitive shooters and reloaders with the reliability needed for precision ammunition development.

What Makes This Different

BE-86 utilizes a spherical grain structure that meters consistently through progressive presses and powder measures. The formulation burns cleaner than many ball powders, reducing fouling buildup during extended shooting sessions. Temperature stability remains excellent across seasonal conditions, maintaining velocity consistency from 0°F to 125°F.

Key Features

• Spherical powder grains for consistent metering and charge weights
• Multi-caliber compatibility from .380 ACP through .45 ACP
• Clean-burning formulation reduces barrel fouling
• Temperature-stable performance across weather conditions
• Double-base composition for consistent pressure curves
• 1-pound container provides approximately 1,000 rounds of .45 ACP
• Manufactured to SAAMI specifications for safety and consistency

BE-86 excels in competitive shooting applications where consistent velocities translate to tighter groups. The powder works effectively in both target loads and defensive ammunition, providing versatility for reloaders who load multiple calibers. Its clean-burning characteristics extend time between firearm cleanings while maintaining reliable function in semi-automatic pistols.
