Default 929 accuracy, or lack of it

Has anyone gotten decent groups out of one of these pigs? Not talking about hitting the paper at ten yards but groups at 25 off bags.

So far I've tried bullets of .356 and .357. Guess I need to look for some 358.

Are you shooting lead or jacketed? Mine doesn't much care for lead but does very well with standard fmj; both with factory and reloads.

I've been hoping to find a good 100 yard load for mine. So far 158gr LsWC coated cast bullets sized 0.358" have been the most promising, but it's not there, yet. A "9mm" it isn't!

I shoot mine standing with a hacked off hammer spur with the comp removed DAO (the comp is useless).
And a red dot. At 25 yards easily. All in the 10 or 9 ring .

It shoots cheap ammo. WWB 115gr FMJ. Blazer brass 115gr FMJ. My homemade 124gr xtreme plated. And those are .355s or .356..
I dont shoot lead. Did shoot Bayou Bullets 124gr PC. They shot well.
I look for cheap new ammo to shoot in it, just to see what it wont like. Ammo IMO wasn't an issue.

Mine will shoot 2" 16 shoot groups at 50 yards from a Ransom Rest.
