The czs have short chambers can't load them long. 

 

I like 4.5 n320 with BBI 180. 1.120. 172pf

 

Learning, new gun & have not worked up something yet.

 

Mine seems to pluck test at about 1.16 with Bayou 180 rnfp & the loads I had for a different gun (1.15 - 1.155) seem to work fine. That is not to say that perhaps 1.12 may not be a better target for minimal problems or better accuracy or whatever. Insights and experience appreciated.

CZ TS mags will not hold long loaded rounds.  CZ chambers are normal length.  The barrels have normal leads, unlike 2011 40 sw barrels.

 

I load to 1.126" for several reasons.  One, I was told early on that if I loaded to that length I'd have no feeding problems.  Two, that's the OAL listed in several loading manuals.  Three, it does work, where loading to SAAMI length, 1.135" causes some feed problems with certain bullets.  Four, My 2011 40 likes that OAL with both MBX mags and the Infinity Gen 1 mags, so I don't have to load two different lengths for the two guns.

180bbi won't plunk past 1.125 in my barrel. I go to 1.120 to avoid any problems with the variances.  plated plunk ok at 1.145 but was getting a bunch of jams. Shortened it up and problem went away.

I've been playing around with 3 different loads for Major and 1 load for 3 Gun.

 

X-Treme Bullet 180gr HP loaded with Titegroup 4.2gr to 1.120 is 167PF

X-Treme Bullet 180gr HP loaded with N320 4.7gr to 1.120 is 172pf

X-Treme Bullet 220gr loaded with Titegroup 3.7gr to 1.120 is 168 pf 

 

X-Treme Bullet 180gr HP  loaded with Titegroup 3.0gr to 1.120 is 104pf  

 

I've only had this gun for a few weeks and am still playing around with bullet weights and powders.  So far i'm really liking the 220gr with 3.7gr Titegroup.  Very soft but still cycles the gun well with a 12lb recoil spring.

180 Blue bullet, 1.135, 4.5gr of W231 or HP38. Has made 172-174 pf at every match I've shot since 2011... except last week at the A6 match it made 164.3.

1.15 oal, 5.2 power pistol, 180 grain bayou. TSO. 

 

Haven't shot thousands of them yet, but after 200 or so, zero issues and good for A zone head shots at 25 yards when i do my part correctly. Tried a couple hundred 1.13 5.0 as well, zero issues also but not checked for accuracy, prefer 1.15 to be certain that brass always stops on the fat part of the bullet.

Man these 180grblue bullets are really accurate in my cz TSO. If you guys want to give them a try, use code (moser) for a discount. This might be the best shooting gun and most accurate load I've ever had.

4.5gr ramshot competition 

180 blue bullet

Book max on RS Comp for 180 L TC is 3.3 - you're like 30% over max - just an FYI.
