I have an RIA Ultra FS in 9mm. Only paper targets so far. Perfect function once I began using Wilson Combat magazines.
Good accuracy with many different boolits and powders.
Lee 120 tc, Lyman 356402, Lyman 358212, NOE 135 grain flat nose, Lee 125rn. I use many different powders as I am working through a number of bottles purchased during the shortage.
They all work well.
It seems to prefer loads in the upper range for 9mm standard loads. I have not run any +P through it.
Lubes used are White Label Xlox tumble lube, WHite Label NRA 50-50, and TAC-1. No obvious differences in performance.
I don't have a load for it that shoots quite as well as jacketed yet. Still working on it but it is close. Groups are about 1 inch larger than what I get with jacketed at 12 yards.
It easily holds the ten ring on a silhouette at that distance with the large majority in the X ring.
