Posted: Mon Sep 18, 2017 6:29 pm
Greetings,
Just finished my initial testing of the Alliant BE86 powder with the 32 S&W Long WadCutter.
There is no published data that I know of. So, use this powder at your own risk.
Test parameters as follows...
Barrel is a second hand Pardini HP barrel with a 0.3135" groove diameter mounted in a barrel tester.
Target distance is 50 yards.
Bullets are re-swaged Speer "Plinker" 98 grain HBWC measuring 0.3143" diameter.
Chronograph is 20 feet from the muzzle of the barrel.
If you are interested in viewing my results, send me a PM with your "real" email address and I will send you the data.
Cheers,
Dave
