It's not Long Shot and at .2gr's more than Georgia Arms (Long Shot) performed a little better. It's not Power Pistol?

You see those white translucent slightly larger flakes, BE-86 also has them.  Before I ever saw BE-86, I thought the powder was Power Pistol (BE-84 in the past) but to me it fits the BE-86 powder...

This is one of the powers on my list to get but haven't found it locally yet... :-[

Could the BE-86 data be a little optimistic? When they give ratings, do they also say what barrel length?

Alliant is probably fudging their numbers some... ::)
