Caution! Alliant's data for .40 S&W 180gr BE-86 is wrong!

In pistol cartridges the COAL makes a huge difference in pressure.

A refinement would be to say that bullet seating depth "makes a huge difference in pressure". Since bullet length can vary between bullets of the same weight but different design. They may both have the same OAL but vastly different bullet seating depths that affects the case volume.
 
Carlsbad is correct. I'm new to reloading, was double checking some numbers for this powder for my .40 cal and came across this. Glad I did! Thank you for the information.
