I think that I finally found the right boolit for my CZ 75 b. Other bullets that I have tried, including the lee 124 TL leaded badly, likely do to their being too small. The lee 125 casts at .358 which is perfect. However, it is designed for the 38/357 mag. and the way that the nose is designed makes it a challenge to fit in the chamber of cz pistols.
Well, I recently made up some rounds. These had 4.3 grains of WSF & O.A.L. 1.021
These I took to the range and was pleasantly surprised to see zero leading and holes touching at 15 yards. However, about 1 out of every 5 rounds wouldn't chamer do to slightly long bullets:(
I recently fixed that problem by loading the bullet slightly deeper. I was surprised to note though that the O.A.L. was 0.987! My question is, is this safe? I using a minimum starting load in my gun, and the rounds function fine. I just hope there is no mal pressure symptoms of such a deep set boolit
By the way, the powder is not compressed, but is probably touching the bullet.
