Best recipe for cz 75 spo1

[willthesaint]

Hi guys

I recently put up a post on the best load for the cz75 spo 1 shadow.

Unfortunately I live in Australia and the information that I received was from America. Thanks for all the replys but the gun powder used in the states is not available here. I used AP 70 or AP 50. So is there anyone here from Australia that could help me.

Cheers

AFAIK, AP-70 is same as Universal Clays and AP-50 is Clays. They are all made by ADI in Australia and just get re-packaged in US for Hodgdon, thus diff names.

I load both under 124gr bullet (Berry's) with OAL 1.12" and powder charges as follows: 1) Clays - 3.6gr (grain); 2) Univ.Clays - 4.0gr.

Clays shoots softer and burns cleaner but produces higher pressure, so be sure you don't overload.

If you go to Hodgdon and look under MSDS for powders you will find the Aussie names/ recipes for the powders sold here in the US.

Here you go. I'll make it easy on you.

Find the US Powder load data that you like, and look under 'synonyms' on the MSDS. That's your powder! If it's a Vihtavouri powder then it's the same since they're made in Finland.

Hope that helps.

PBA, the Australian distributors of the CZ handgun line told me that a favourite load amongst the clubs for the SP-01 Shadow is 4.2gn AP70/Universal with a 125 gn projectile. Some are using the same load with a 135 gn projectile. OAL was not discussed.

These loads are within the range of recommended loads on the Hodgdon site.

Haven't tried these myself but having good results with published loads using WSF and AC.
