The European F Class Championships 2025 are coming to an end. What a massive event with over 400 shooters from all over the World competing over a week of tough competition. Reload Swiss would like to congratulate Paul Harkins on his magnificent 5th place and their F Class Ambassador David Lloyd on 10th place in the European Championships Individuals. An amazing result as competition was stiff with the Worlds finest shooters in attendance. RS 62 in David’s .300WSM gave him consistent performance and help achieve the result. Also Paul Harkins was using his RS 70 and .300 WSM combination. Well done guys and all other RS powder users. ... See MoreSee Less

To gain these medals makes me so proud and all the effort put into it has been rewarded. Shooting against some of the finest F Open shooters in the World and to take silver medal is awesome. ...

F Class Reload Swiss ambassador David Lloyd wins day 2 of the Scottish F Class Championship held at Bisley over the weekend. He won gold in the second match and only dropping 2 points that morning gave him the win and the daily aggregate. Finishing a credible 7th overall for the 2 days. The combination of RS62 in his .300 WSM giving superb consistency to help him to the medals. ... See MoreSee Less

David Lloyd F Class Ambassador. A great weekend at Bisley for the 4th F Class league shoot of the year. I’ve just had a new rifle in .300 WSM and as ever did my load development with RS62. It really does produce excellent results in a .300 WSM with 215 Berger Hybrids. I first used RS62 a few years ago and I came runner up in the British Championships using the powder. I’ve stuck with it ever since. The new rifle is a tack driver I shot a 74.10V in the first match at 800 yards which took me the bronze medal. The following morning in the first 1000 yard match I shot a clean with a 75.9V I was the only shooter not to drop a point and I took the gold medal. In the second 1000 yard match I only dropped one point so I was only 1 point down for the day and this was good enough to secure the gold medal in daily aggregate. RS62 produced such consistent results and held awesome elevation at 1000 yards it was hugely confidence building. Looking forward to the Europeans in the knowledge I have a highly competitive set up. I’m sure RS62 will help me towards the “Perfect Hit”David Lloyd. ... See MoreSee Less
