I just shot my fist reloaded rounds though my P229. Berrys 155gr. and 165gr. Jfp with 5.8 gr. of 231. Wow, sweet shooting for me. I was little apprehensive about purchasing a 40 cal. after all the reading I have done about how snappy and getting use to the recoil etc. I must say my 44 mag. Loaded with a 240 gr LSWC with 2400 makes for short shooting sessions, but at seven yards I can keep a three inch group free hand.
With the 229, bench rested with fixed night sights I was grouping about six inches and more at 7 yards and even then I was all over the place. I know there were a couple of flinches in there, but I am not sure if it me, the gun, or the load, or if I should try a different powder or maybe just more range time.
Any suggesting will be helpful, since most of my time was with revolvers and tight groups were not a problem, the auto loader is a new world for me.
