Hollow-Point Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Ream your barrel…then you can load any COAL you want. I reamed by barrels and can basically load any bullet profile to any length I want. I load at 1.163, just seems to be my Czechmates sweet spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philmadxx Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Forgive me if this has been asked I’m driving and answering at red lights. Did you have the barrel throated? If not, they may be jamming up on the rifling. They can be really hard to extract if that’s true. Try shorter factory, ammunition and see what happens. That load looks pretty hot to me so you need a 10 11 12 pound spring, to keep the slide from cycling to fast, although I don’t know if that would cause FTF. I had my Czechmate throated to accept 1.160 OAL. Memphis Mechanic did it. Awesome guy. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mlussoro Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 8.0 was 167 0 issues with ammo or mags, after 1000 rounds it’s been very reliable! I’m now up to 8.5gr on a 124 at 170-172 pf very flat! Minimal dot movement and still reliable oal is 1.17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
