Smitty79 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I have some CSB-5 coming. It's cheap and available right now. I have no idea how long that will hold up. Should be good stuff. I will post loads here some place when I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thompsoncustom Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I have been working on a load for my shadow lately that produces some really low recoil but I think I can do better. Running a Lee 158gr RN that drops at 162grs. 3.2grs of aa#2 1.15 OAL 135pf I think. I would like to get a throat reamer and see if I can load this out to 1.130 to 1.145 and put about 2.4grs of n310 under it. But because of the really low speed I'd probably also have to have the Lee tumble lube grooves all removed for any chance of the bullet stabizing.

kneelingatlas Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 But because of the really low speed I'd probably also have to have the Lee tumble lube grooves all removed for any chance of the bullet stabizing. Maybe that's not the problem? Factory .38 special ammo can drive tacks with 158s doing 770ft/s (121.7PF) right? So I think the issue with tumbling heavy bullets is with the powder. Have you tried that load with a slower powder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGus Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 For my CZ Accu Shadow I load: Hornady 147 gr FMJ RN 3.6 grains IMR PB 1.125 OAL Consistently at 131 average power factor out of my gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsoncustom Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Tumble lube bullets can be problematic. I have not tired it with any other powder tho I really only want to go with a faster powder not slower. I could also ways try it at say 775fps with aa2,unique,and power pistol and see if there's any problems. Works fine at 3.2gr at 30ft need to get out at 25yrds and see how it does. I was running a 170gr normal lube groove swc with 2.8grs of aa2 and accuracy was great but at 2.8 and this bullet it tumbles. Only down side to the 170 sec is its a 2 cavity mold instead of a 6 and the throat on my shadow is to short compared to my 75b.

d_striker Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Extreme 147rn Clay Dot 2.9 1.140 So soft its silly What weight recoil spring are you running with this load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnote Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) All my CZs have been more accurate closer to a 135 PF than 125pf with various bullets / weights So I tend to load a bit hotter ,if you could call it hot, and take all the stress out if chrono stage Edited April 1, 2015 by cnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPsaw475 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Looking to purchasing a shadow and have an excessive amount of 147gr xtremes from my M&P. Very good info, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inertia Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Extreme 147rn Clay Dot 2.9 1.140 So soft its silly What weight recoil spring are you running with this load? 10# or 11# usually 10 in my match gun. About as low as I can find. Gun stays flat brass does go into outerspace but the frame shows no wear from such a soft load. Warning this barely makes PF in a AUZ barrel.

himurax13 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Here are some of my favorite loads out of my Australian Barrel. They group well. Bullet Powder Weight Primer OAL Velocity SD PF 124g FMJ Precision Delta Titegroup 4.0 Federal SP 1.044 1065 6 132 124g RN Bear Creek Titegroup 4.0 Federal SP 1.044 1072 9 133 135g RN Bear Creek Titegroup 3.4 Federal SP 1.155 960 6 130 135g RN Bear Creek SOLO 1000 3.8 Federal SP 1.155 982 8 133 147g Lead Truncated Cone SOLO 1000 3.5 Federal SP 1.130 903 10 133 147g FP Bear Creek Titegroup 3.2 Federal SP 1.130 892 16 131 147g FP Bear Creek SOLO 1000 3.5 Federal SP 1.130 870 8 128 Edited April 1, 2015 by himurax13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp00ky Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Good info here. In my CZ Tac Sport 9mm Most accurate loads are 147grs TMJ RNFP Cam Pro bullets [Canadian] and 147 grs Hornady FMJ RN with 3.3 grs of Titegroup and Dominion [Russian] primers. OAL 1.120 Edited April 2, 2015 by sp00ky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himurax13 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I run this load out of my Glock with no issues. I was hoping to take this into a CZ platform: 147 Bear Creek flat nose. 3.3 grains of VV N320 OAL = 1.115 Crimp = .378 to.380 Federal or Winchester primers. 135.5 power factor. Sometimes I put a Precision Delta FMJ in there and get the same result (a bit slower perhaps). I load them a touch shorter but they have worked fine for me at that OAL. I believe 3.2g of Titegroup or 3.5g of SOLO 1000 will be right around 130 PF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
