Default M69 Take 2... got it to the range today!

Got a nice break in the Florence rain and shot a 100 round mix of my reloads thru the M69 today and very pleased.
Best plinking loads were my Matt's Bullets 230 gr. SWC with GC loaded over 9 gr. of Unique with nice group in picture. This was one handed from 12 yds. in SA.
The Xtreme 240 and 200 gr. plated bullets did well too with same 9 gr. of Unique.
The Missouri Bullets HYTech coated bullets 240 gr. SWC shot OK but I didn't like the build up in the barrel as the Matt's Bullets shot cleaner with little to no lead in the barrel.

Really liked my Hornady 200 gr. XTP load with 11.4 gr. of Unique as they were pleasant to shoot one handed with the factory grip!
This would make a fine self defense load!

The revolver had less residue on it since they got the gap right and very pleased with how it functioned.Only issue is the rubber grip has a split in the seam about 3/4 inch long right below hammer...is it supposed to be like that?
Will get down there again late next week for more fun!
