Hello everyone
First let me say I did not get hurt nor did I destroy my gun. In an attempt to reform 223 brass in Tokarev brass I found out that one step is required at least for my CZ-52. Of course case length and all the other specs need to be correct but with my CZ-52 it must have a very tight spec on the barrel throat as I found that after I made about 200 reformed 223 to Tokarev brass that almost all of the outside diameter of the bottle neck portion of the brass was .2mm to thick. This resulted in the slide not fully going forward as the neck was to large. I needed to cut the outside diameter down. After I trimmed it down it has worked well. Just a lesson I learned.
