The title says it all:
Is there any Official way to reload a sling faster than a move action?
I saw Rapid Reload only worked on Crossbows and Firearms, so, I was a little bummed. Maybe I'm the only one that thinks slings are cool weapons, but I'd love to build a ranged weapon user specializing in a Sling (or, well, the Staff Sling, probably), and I don't think that's possible without being able to make Full Attacks.
Halflings have an alternate racial trait in the apg called warslinger. It allows you to reload a sling as a free action, still uses two hands, and provokes AoO's.

There are several feats in Halflings of Golarion that help sling-fighting. They're also on the SRD.
Er, ok, thank you, but now I need to clarify:
How can I do this without being a Halfling? I really hate them...
The adopted racial trait allows you to pick up a racial trait from another race. It's either that or call yourself a kender.

See, this is why I thought they shoulda come up with different names for racial traits and character traits. If Warslinger were a character trait (race), then the character trait (social) Adopted would help you; but no. Warslinger is a racial trait that replaces Sure-Footed.
However, the feat Ammo Drop -- loading slings one-handed with a swift action and no AoO -- just requires sling proficiency and one rank in Sleight of Hand. (Oh, and purchase of Halflings of Golarion.) Its sequel Juggle Load then turns it into a free action.
Although this requires two feats instead of one, it also takes one hand instead of two, which a clever halfling -- or who knows, maybe some hater -- could take advantage of. I hope you appreciate my offering this info despite your attitude toward a race that I love. :(
