LeviSS Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I have a 130pf load that I shoot in my CZ. My dad's wanting me to reload some ammo for his G17. Is it safe to shoot my reloads in his Glock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 If it chambers, I would think so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyOverUnder Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I tried this once. Went from a Glock to a M&P. I went sub minor with a different barrel. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it as he said it...safe to shoot, yes...whether or not it makes PF is to be determined with a chrono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviSS Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Thanks guys. Just to clear things up...he's not competing, just want to shoot cheaper than factory ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 The only concern I'd have is whether the round "might" compress during the cycling phase - Works okay in one chamber, but in another chamber the bullet hits something and shortens (bullet is pushed further into the case), causing an unsafe OAL in that one gun. Unlikely - perhaps. Impossible - sadly, no. As Grumpy mentioned "if it chambers ... " (safely) and completely, without disturbing the OAL, it should be fine. But, I'd cycle some rounds thru the Glock and re-measure the OAL to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarilynMonbro Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I would say yes, they will chamber. My CZs have a much shorter throat/chamber and require a shorter OAL compared to my 19 and 34. I'd still fire off a few and inspect the brass for overpressure signs just to be sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianKr Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I just did this today after installing a new barrel inmy M&P. Worked fine, but that doesn't mean anything for other guns. I also didn't have time to chrono' the load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 No problem. Determine the MAX OAL for all the chambers you will shoot the load in and then load .02" under the shortest MAX of the bunch. Start there, but you may or may not need to go shorter to facilitate feeding. Test it out in all magazines and chambers. Cycle the load...then shoot a few mags worth in each pistol before you go gung ho production mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) This will work no problem. What is your OAL for your CZ load? A Glock will eat fat shouldered flat nose rounds out to 1.150" or longer - their limit on length is almost always what will physically fit in the mag front-to-rear. CZ have some of the shortest chambers out there, and the same bullet profile usually has to be loaded well shorter than 1.120" so anything your CZ can eat will run through the Glock like a sewing machine.
