Another 44-40 Question

[King Medallion]

I don't want to derail anyone else's thread so I'll start this one.
Be86. Must be a relatively new powder? Supposed to be be a duplicate of Unique, so I've read. I've purchases several lbs of it as Unique couldn't be found and Be86 is plentiful and relatively cheap by today's standards. So far I've used it in 45Colt and 32-20 with good results, meters real nice and accurately in my old Lyman 55.
I've recently acquired an Accurate 43-215C mold and made some nice bullets that dropped at 216/217 grain at .430 size. Anyone else using this mold with Be86?

Since no one has answered you yet I will add something to get the ball rolling,

Yes, I do have the Accurate 43-215C Kort designed mold.  I bought it second hand, for the crimp groove.  The mold I have drops a 0.429 diameter 224 grain bullet with my pure lead.  I did not expect the mold to jump up to such a heavy weight.  I use pure lead in all 44/40 molds.  I will refer you to Bryan Austin's 13th posting in the thread over on Leverguns forum -- https://www.levergunscommunity.org/viewtopic.php?t=91317 .  Read the text of the label.  I will save this mold for any long distance shooting desires but will continue to look for a more traditional 200 - 205 grain crimped bullet mold, like the Accurate 43-195C.  Pure lead will bring that weight up to or above 200 grains.

No, I have not used Be86 powder though but with all the talk about it as a Unique replacement, I guess I will be looking for some in the near future.  Unique was my MAIN powder for everything, just about.  I did buy Hogdons Universal powder as a substitute, back a few years, but did not start using it yet.

I will be interested in what other have to say about the use of this 'new to me' Be86 powder, since my favorite Unique, is no longer manufactured.
