reloading recipe for 9mm minor

[brytec]

wondering if someone can help me with reloading data for production division:

Gun I have is CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow target.

Been shooting glock open major for a little over a year now..and so I wanted to try production div this time around.

Thanks a lot.

What do you have for bullets and powder?

[superdude]

The approach for producing the "proper" ammo for guns with or without a compensator are polar opposites. For a gun with a compensator, light bullets and large charges of slow burning propellants are desired to provide lots of gas to operate the comp to reduce muzzle rise. But for a gun without a compensator, all that gas adds to the recoil, so heavy bullets and small charges of fast burning propellant produce the least recoil.

Eat your vegetables.....

There must be a dozen threads here on the forum for the gun you have.

Do a search with the words shadow load, or cz shadow SP01 load, or pet 9mm load....

Or try 3.8 of VV N320 with a PD 147FMJ at 1.150.

135 gr Bayou Bullet at 1.130 with 3.9 gr of AA2 is my current favorite for my Shadow. Other loads 124 JHP M. G. at 1.100 with either 3.6 of Tightgroup, or 4.8 of N340. 147 bayou at 1.135 with 3.3 gr Tightgroup.

Well you can shoot your tupperware loads, I've shot 9 major in my shadow not plesant but, LOL. I'm on board with Darrel nothing beats a 135gr Bayou with a little powder behind it, I use 4.0g gr of WST or 3.8gr of N320 with them. My shadow is a deep throat model I load them out to 1.165 if I want but mostly 1.145 so they don't get mixed up with the loads for my open gun.

If you have some IMR7625 and you might its used in 9 major some, try 4.6gr with a 124/5gr jacketed bullet.

But like Grumpy says there a a 1,000 threads on 9 minor and 100's on the CZ Shadow, I didn't go to the match this morning so I'm bored out of my skull wife sitting.
