My pet load for a Swiss 06/29 is :
bullet : H&N .311 RN HS 86 grain
primer : Winchester small pistol
powder : Vectan BA-9 : 5,2 grain
Vo (13 measures) = 174,7 m/s and a standerd deviation of 1,21%

Best wishes with this fabulous gun.

Sorry too for a late answer but I was away at a Bench Rest competition.
I use 93gr, either jacketed or "ramate" (copper coated), so my load is slightly lighter: I use N340, 4.78gr (0.31g). As you know, N340 is a good bit milder than BA9. No problem with ejection and very good accuracy.
I test fired a military 06/29 last Thursday with factory load and they grouped in the 9 and 10 rings. Amazing! The gun is in perfect condition.
