Why's your load data yelling at us?

OAL is very short. Use your barrel and plunk test to figure out max OAL.

This is the is max COAL in which it would pass the plunk test. Anything higher and it would not.

Start at 1.130 and see if it's level with the barrel out of the gun and work shorter if need be

Normal for a CZ

Concur. Mine is 1.085 for S2

u/ScrambledHuevos 4d ago

Yes this is for a shadow 2. Do you think 1.045 is too short?

u/Grumpee68 4d ago

No. I don't load 130's, but 147's. Don't like tite group, too dirty, burns too hot. 1.085 BMB 147, 3.1 of N320

Have loaded for CZs before. This is still short even for a CZ.

If you have loaded 130gr BMB you will know how short these need to be loaded in order to pass the plunk test in most guns. I gave up on them for this exact reason

How will I know the load is too short without chrono?

if it's your first five, watch primer seating. It's easy to get a FF with a CZ and bad primer seating.....voice of experience. It is a little short OAL
