Thanks to all who welcomed me to the board. I have had time to put several loads thru the pup and the federal hydroshock in 124 grains runs great. All types of practice ammo have worked without incident. The remington golden saber load was the most accurate of all loads tested but out of 40 rounds it had three FTE and one FTF. Hydro shocks worked 100% in 40 rounds. Have not tried any Speer gold dots or winchester silvertips but hope too soon. I see that several of you have gotten your special forces in and they look great. After I put a couple hundred more rounds through it I will try the golden saber rem load again and hope it feeds better but the hydroshocks work just fine. Thanks again for such a fine board.
