CZ SP01, 125 blacks and which powder?

[35WLN]

I have a new to me SP01 and a ton of 125 precision blacks in stock. I also have Clays, vv320 and w231 in stock. I know I have to load the oal shorter than other pistols so I am asking all of you a good starting point. Please include the OAL and powder charge. Thanks.

Are you a member of the CZ Forum yet? There is a lot of good information there in the Reload section of the Forum regarding the question you are asking. Here is the link: http://www.czforumsite.info/index.php?board=33.0.

I just bought a Shadow from Angus & Co. Thanks for this info.

I have been using a CZ 75 for some time now. My reccomendation would be 1.085 OAL and use the W231 or better yet N320.

What poeder charges is a safe starting point for each? Also, is the 1.085 OAL with the precision black 125's or any 125's? Thanks

I prefer to load the ammo for my CZ a bit longer. I use an OAL of 1.155" in my SP-01 with 125gr bullets.

For powder I use WSF but it is only out of convenience because I have to admit that it smokes quite a bit and it is also somewhat dirty.

:Edited to add:

I should clarify... When I say that WSF "smokes quite a bit" I mean with lead bullets. It could be the lubricant on the bullet and not the powder.

FYI the load I use is:

125gr Double Alpha RN Bullets

4.5gr WSF

OAL 1.155"
