![]() I now believe, based on my experiments and also my experiences, that if you use the 0.025 recommended crimping dimension, that there will be no problems with these (or others) 147’s in a short or narrow LEADE chamber. Usually a more experienced member will come over and off the same advice….”buy a Lyman FACTORY crimp die” and PLUNK test EVERY load. OVERCRIMPING.Īs a RSO at our club, I am involved or supervise “jams, FTF, etc.”. BUT, I could shoot the RMR IF I backed off on the COAL as the bulge or distortion was being spread out or moving back towards the rim.īacking off the COAL, in my opinion, is a simple fix but masks the real issue. So, from a chambering standpoint (CZ has SHORT LEADE), there is not an issue and I could load in the recommended 1.15? range….Īs an aside….I was putting almost 0.130 or maybe 4 – 5 TIMES TOO MUCH CRIMP. I also tried them in the Springfield barrel. I then loaded several test rounds and kept backing OUT the bullet seating plug. Also used a competitor’s 147 Cu plated RN. Created through a process that bakes on a. That is 3/8 turn or about 0.027″ of crimp. 9mm competition projectile leaves a sharper more distinct hole in cardboard targets. Then they had me screw the die in another 1/8 turn. Leave it there and then set your OAL (COAL) dimension. That will be about 0.018″ based on the 14 TPI thread. Then start to turn or screw down the die, with finger pressure, until the die (crimping taper) just contacts or touches. Put a sized, primed and belled shell in the press and run the ram UP to full length. Loosen up the locking ring (I noted WHERE it was in my original setup). My buddies had me set up the Crimp/Seat die as follows…īack out the Seating Plug. ![]() As an experienced novice, I just “GUESSED” at the crimping pressure. Discussed with some rifle match shooters. BUT, it was WAY longer than the overall max recommended (memory) COAL of 1.170.īUT, I had had issues with chambering on the CZ and found that any FTF would work fine in my Glock (gen 4 and 5) or my Smith MP 5L Pro. Then had the bullets all the way out and pushed into a Springfield 1911 9mm barrel. Made up dummy loads from one fired cases with a slight amount of belling so that you could put in a bullet. Its 147 grain projectile, which is the heaviest of the bullet weights. Have read all the comments about short “LEADEs” in the CZ barrel. Our 30 Caliber 147 Grain Full Metal Jacket bullets are the best option for reloading your. Designed for hunting, self-defense and law enforcement applications, the XTP bullet demonstrates the kind of accuracy that led many competitive shooters to. This 9mm cartridge by Federal is perfectly suited for extended visits to the range. I offer a differing opinion, based on experimentation with my CZ Shadow 2. ![]()
