Red River

About 100 yards. ;-)

I have loaded quite a few .356 147gr Xtremes. I started low and worked up to near the top of the loading data without ever seeing any signs of pressure. I would start low and slow.

I own the a 9mm subcompact and a 9mm tactical. I have also shot the Service model extensively. I like them all, but the tactical is my favorite. They all point and shoot about the same, except I can shoot lighter loads and still make minimum power in the tactical. I am in the ammo business, so I chronograph a lot of different loads and it may surprise you how much difference an inch can make sometimes. ETA: The one drawback is that the heavier slide of the tactical may not lock back as easily if you are shooting a really light recoiling round and/or you gun gets a little gunky.

Hey folks, I've been lurking for a while, but finally decided to sign up. I am fairly new to competitive shooting. I have already learned a lot from the many threads here. Thanks, Trevor
