  1. Just an update. Out of 1,300 rounds fired over the last 3 days I got about 5% primer strikes where the round did not fire. This was on a CZ 75 TS in .40 S&W. I was using AR Rifle Mathc primers from Federal. I guess I will have to keep searching for pistol primers as I can't afford misfires during a match.

    Do you have the extended firing pin in it?

    If not might want the extra insurance it offers.

    What # hammer spring?

    I have a 15lb and no extended firing pin with zero issues but I flatten them when seating them.

    I use S&B and love them

  2. 147gr always shoot higher, the slower bullet stays in the barrel longer so it is picking up the muzzle rise ever so slightly causing it to shoot higher.

    I have at least 5 different height fron sights for the different bullets and powders I have played with.

  3. Acme 147gr and the new 147gr bbi are different, the bbi oal is much shorter.

    All my CZ barrels are reamed. So the mag is the limiting factor but every new bullet gets the drop test.

    I'm fairly confident that this new, shorter OAL can work. But just in case I don't like it, who reamed your barrels?

    In my Apex barrel the 147 BBI can only be loaded to 1.135. The Acme's plunk and spin at 1.15.

    You talking about the 147 BBI w/ or w/out the lube groove?

    I had a great member of this forum send me one to borrow and I did 4 cz 9mms. I sent the reamer back with a little thank you.

    I have reamed every cz I own and don't regret anything. Whisk I would have done it sooner.

  4. I couldn't drop 200gr acme or bbi beyond 1.130 and ended with a finished oal of 1.125. I wasn't comfortable running the 200gr and fast powders at that short of a oal. After reaming I am definitely more comfortable and love the 200gr in my gun for me.

    I tested acme 180gr and can get 1.169 in my mags, but will stick to oals of 1.155.

  5. 200gr acme and bbi, 180 acme I load to 1.155oal.

    I even borrowed 5 mags from a friend for sectionals and the fit with no issues.

    I probably could take a picture but unless someone really questions it they should try to load long for their mag. I could only load to 1.125 with bbi 200gr before reaming now the mags are the tried limiting factor for me and I bet I could go to 1.160.

  6. If AA has your gun you should call them and have your barrel reamed.

    I had my barrel done and glad I did. I load bbi and acme 200gr to 1.155 and have no feeding issues.

    A little Piece of mind when loading heavy bullets and fast powders, plus any profile bullet at 1.140.

  7. I am on 7k with them and no issues.

    During the holidays they were $17.99 with $20 off if you spend $100 at Cabelas. So 6k out the door was $89 a trip.

    They are used in sp01s and my ts, I do make sure they are a little beyond seated fully.

    Please don't buy if you have doubts, leave them for me.

  8. My TS .40 bushing is not cooperating. I've tried freezing the slide. I've tried the socket technique. It is not budging. How hard did you have top hammer the socket?

    Did you get your stock bushing removed?

    I was able to remove mine, shot of pb blaster 7/16 1/4" socket and 3/8" 6" extension. Had to use a 2x4 on the concrete floor and a 20oz hammer, and I had to use more force than you would have thought.

    The bushing is in after freezing it and a good blow from a hard rubber hammer. The barrel doesn't fit in the bushing, to tight. I am going to remove a little material around the bushing and polish the barrel. This is for my ts40, had no issues with the sp01s.
