Chris, I don't think it's quite the same as the powder that's sold to reloaders. Alliant has a new variant called BE-86 that has a flash suppressant that Power Pistol obviously does not. I haven't found anything conclusive yet, but I wonder if BE-86 isn't the low flash version of Power Pistol that was used by the military. Surely they didn't go into battle with a powder that flashes as greatly as Power Pistol does. When Alliant gets around to posting data for BE-86, we'll be able to compare it to Power Pistol. Powder charges and burn rate may differ slightly due to the chemical coating (flash suppressant) on BE-86.
