Now this brings us to the newer Alliant product BE-86 also a derivative of Bullseye which has a modified burn rate and flash suppressed property.
QuoteThe special extruded flake formulation results in excellent ballistics in a wide array of centerfire pistol loads, with high energy, an ideal burn speed and less flash. It meters well and is available in 1- and 8-pound canisters. Like all Alliant Powder offerings, BE-86 provides superior lot-to-lot consistency.

Shadow, thanks for the post. I have learned a lot from your postings.
Some one posted on " Big Blue " that BE was Power Pistol with a flash suppressant and another posted on Carolina Shooters Club that it was Bulls Eye. Guess they were both partially right.

What is the "Big Blue"? I don't think I've seen it...is it the Dillon Forum?
