Reload Swiss RS12 seems to be a little bit more constant than the RS20 in my applications and subjective,  it shoots a little bit more comfortable. It’s also a bit cleaner and has less residues. Perfect! So I guess, I’ll add one or two tenth of a grain to the 3.6 RS12 to be safe above minor level. The 115grs load is something for the Steelchallenge. Also here, I’ll ad a bit to get 110PF. Precision is fine already! the 929 is a nice Revolver and makes fun. But I’m thinking of getting the barrel stub cut. It’s useless for me and I don’t need to mount the comp and this would reduce weight a bit and would make it a bit more handy. Also the underlug could be overworked a bit to reduce weight. We’ll see… 😉

the 139grs Sintox load shot the best groups and felt very comfortable. This will be my load! Also nicely to shoot was the new Hexagon. But due to the hollow point, reloads are not so good as with the 139grs RN bullet. Also precise was the 115grs RN. But very hard and snappy to shoot.

Additional to the factory loads, I’ve also tried a first handload: the 139grs Geco RN bullet, 4,5grs Reload Swiss RS20 and Federal 100. OAL 29,5mm. Unfortunately, the load was a little bit to weak and I need to add some more powder. But the precision was already very promising!

I’m VERY curious how it’ll work and how I’ll get along with the new material. I have to say already a BIG “thank you” to my sponsors Waimex (German distributor of S&W) for giving my a brand new S&W 929 (the right tool for the new rules), GECO for the future support with ammo and reloading components, Reload Swiss for the reloading powder, Rescomp for holsters and belts, Apex Tactical for finest revolver tuning parts and TechwearUSA for their great shirts. I really hope to be able to give back a little bit by winning some matches! I better start practicing immediately…
