But no way you are making power factor with this load. At what length are you seating this load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At what length are you seating this load? hey man! i actually think you are pretty safe with this load. last chrono was 129 (havent shot the shadows in a while). this is a pretty common load from what ive seen. length is 1.1 - pretty short since its a shadow 2. this is from carolina classic 2022: Edited January 2 by dsmarty386 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanna_Go_Fast Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 For my Shadow 2, i have to load at 1.18 for a 125 gr RN Blue Bullet to pass the plunk test. I'm working up some new loads and am loading between 3.4 to 3.8 gr of Titegroup. I will post chrono results as soon as i get out to the range.

That's about where I'm at too, I settled on 3.7 of TG, i was afraid that loading to 1.16 it wouldnt pass plunking considering cz's notorious short Chambers, but somehow it passed in all 3 czs in my safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a typo, did you mean 1.08? That is where I find that brand of bullet to OAL. Also 1.18" won't feed in my CZ mags, too long. About 1.15" is max.

Wanna_Go_Fast Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Got out to the range today and wanted to post my results. These are shot through a shadow 2 of course. The chrono was acting funny when i was testing the 3.8 gr loads, so I'm not posting the results, but i will try again soon. 125 gr Blue Coated Bullet 3.4 gr Titegroup average power factor = 129.95 125 gr Blue Coated Bullet 3.6 gr Titegroup average power factor = 133.05 125 gr Blue Coated Bullet 4.0 gr Titegroup average power factor = 140.75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rifleman777 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 3.2 gr VV N320 with a 147 gr TC from Missouri Bullet @1.120”OAL fits in all my CZ’s and has been very accurate. Makes 130 PF in my S2. Have used this load for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaseyj5056 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Ive tried many different powders using 147. My favorite loads are 147 FP Blue Bullets over 3.1 GR AA#2 147 FP Blue Bullets over 2.9 GR Titegroup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m700 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I sold my S2 because of this I was fed up with loading separately for a non primary gun. The best answer is to have barrel rechambered so that it likes everything you already make for other guns. Off hand I think I was loading 1.08" for the CZ. It was very easy to tell that apart from the rest of the ammo I make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman1776 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Finally getting back into reloading. First time for Shadow 2. Just curious what people are preferring in 2024? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using xtreme 124s loaded over 3.9 of titegroup at 1.13 oal, it's always worked so haven't deviated from that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoNick Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I had my barrel reamed but I use RMR 124 MatchWinners @ 1.12OAL and 4.40gr of Sport Pistol. Gets me about 133PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywizzle Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I shoot CZ bullshadows in CO/Prod and prefer the recoil impulse of a 124gr bullet. Current load is a 124gr FMJ over 4.0gr of N320. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanna_Go_Fast Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Worked up some loads using CFE Pistol last week and chronoe'ed them this weekend with a buddies Garmin Xero C1 Pro. Results below: Shadow 2 Bullet: 125 gr Blue Bullet RN Powder: CFE Pistol OAL: 1.118 4.0 gr Avg Velocity: 963 PF: 120.375 4.4 gr Avg Velocity: 1027 PF: 128.375 4.6 gr Avg Velocity: 1079 PF: 134.875 I imagine 4.5 gr would put me closer to straight 130 PF, but i haven't tested that.
