It has to do with the bullet profile. If I load with an oal over 1.040 it won't chamber. Ran into a similar issue when I bought my 97B.

I wish I had the frontal lobe function to find someone selling 10k primers for $760.

I've been shooting Bayou's 120gr. truncated cone bullets over 3.6 gr of Titegroup with an OAL of 1.030". Pretty dang accurate.

Looks great! I have the Lok palm swells on my Shadow 2 and they're a little thick for me too so I'm going to try the Armanov grips. Where did you get the mag well?

With the CZs shorter leade, I had to reduce the OAL slightly for my 9mm reloads to chamber in my Shadow 2. I had the same situation with my .45acp reloads when I got my 97B. I use a chamber gauge but when working up a round, I make sure it will plunk in the S2 or 97B. If it does, the round will work in any of my other pistols. Once the OAL is correct both pistols will run like a raped ape.

No, I'm seating and crimping with separate dies.

I'm having this same issue on a Dillon 550C and Dillon dies. I've just started loading 9mm 120gr truncated cone bullets from Bayou Bullets. I cannot seem to consistently seat a bullet without scraping off a little of the coating. I've been adjusting the flare but cannot seem to find the sweet spot. Pretty frustrating. I do wet tumble and use Armoral Wash and Wax. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome! I'm from your area myself - see the username.

I would most likely shoot USPSA.

Probably a nice gun, but for slightly more than $2500 you can probably get an Alchemy Prime or maybe even a Les Baer.

Thanks for your comments.

I'm ready to purchase my first CZ. It will be a range gun. I hope to do some competitive shooting down the road. I had about decided to get a cajunized SP 01 from CGW. Now I'm thinking I ought to go ahead and get a Shadow 2. Would that be the right move?

Thanks guys.

Now that's inspiring!

Great info! This is what I was looking for. Many thanks.
