  1. CFE powder is a slow burning powder. With a 3" barrel most of the powder will be burning outside of the barrel. For supper soft loads you need a fast burning powder with a small powder charge! You will need a load with about 105pf-115pf.
  2. Just cut 2 coils off the bottom
  3. CZ Customs plate does not move and will not shear off the plate mounting screws.
  4. There is your problem. The EGR guage will give false failures. It is ease to check, take an unload bullet and see if it will pass all the way through the EGW gauge. If the bullet will not pass through, the gauge is not checking the brass it is checking OAL.
  5. The 10 round mags are blocked, cutting springs will not let the follower go any deeper into the mag body. With the mag loaded with 10 rounds you need the top round to have about 1/2 a round play so you can reload on a closed slide.
  6. Does it line up with the grove in the bushing?
  7. With N320 you will use a smaller powder charge to achieve the same PF, powder burns cleaner, recoil impulse is softer.
  8. CFE Pistol is a slower burning powder. you will get better results with the N320. Start N320 @ 4.2gn with the 115gn bullets and work up to about 4.6gn.
  9. You will probably need to remove 0.010" - 0.015" more as it needs a little clearance.
  10. When I did mine I milled a little off and test fit the barrel, milled a little more off and test fit. Milled an test 4X to get it right Milling off 0.010"-0.015" at a time.
  11. I used a end mill in a drill press. The material need to be to be removed evenly. Unless you are really good at fitting parts with a file I don't think that's a good option. mess up and you will need to buy a new barrel. If you have access to a mill that would be best. A good drill press with a Cross Sliding Vise is what I used. If you don't have access to either, find someone that does.
  12. First you need to check to see if this is the issue. remove your slide, remove the barrel, install the barrel without the slide. Use the slide stop to hold the barrel in the frame. You will need a light that you can shine into the frame and see if the barrel kidney is past the frame where the guide rod would sit. With the barrel pushed fully forward and looking from the muzzle end under the barrel and above the frame you can see the guide rod seat. if the kidney is past the seat you will need to trim the kidney. You kind of need 3 1/2 hands. If you have a way to hold the frame muzzle up you can also use the guide rod to see how much the barrel pushes the guide rod away from the frame. Take the guide rod and hold it in the frame and when you move the barrel you will feel it push the guide rod.
  13. Eric from CZC is correct. You will need to fit the face of the barrel kidney to the frame. I had the same problem on my Czechmate. When the slide was closed there was play. Changed to the second barrel and the play was gone. When I measured the two barrels the kidney on the #1 barrel was about 0.050" longer and with the slide closed the barrel would push the guide rod just out of contact with the frame. With the slide closed the barrel should not touch the guide rod. The fix for my Czechmate was to remove about 0.040" off the front of the barrel kidney. 25,000+ rounds latter still going strong with only having to replace 1 slide stop and 2 recoil springs.
  14. Grumpy is on target. The FCD will resize the bullet in side of the case and you will no longer have a .358" bullet.
  15. I have used .355"-.358' bullets in 9mm. As long as you do not use a Lee Factory crimp Die you should be OK.
  16. Time spent answering people is time that could have been used to make bullets and do shipping.
  17. My Shadow Line milled by CZC checks all your boxes. Shadow Lines can be found but you will to look for them.
  18. Keep in mind that S&B primers need to be seated 0.003"-0.007" deep. S&B old packaging had instructions that stated that you needed to seat them deep.
  19. That's very similar to the results of my own testing.
  20. If you have any N330 try 5.6gn -5.9gn or N340 try 5.4gn - 5.7gn you will get a more complete burn.
  21. The EGW gauge does good checking brass, but is poor when it comes to checking loaded ammo. A 0.355" bullet will not pass through my EGW gauge. The EGW gauge will reject rounds based not only on the case size but also OAL.
