Thanks for sharing- looks good
Q- what velocity are your loads producing?
-
I don`t currently have a chrono but QuickLoad and Gordon Reloading Tool (free application from a German developer, unfortunately he died but the program is still developed by enthusiasts) shows me velocity about 302-308m/s, about 1000ft/s for Americans 8). Recoil is mild, I have 9lb recoil spring and 10lb hammer spring. That ammunition is intended for the 25m competition and after few tests I can say, that he works great in rifled barells, from my polygonal USP and USP Expert spread of holes is much larger, about 3inch from 25m - maybe .357/.358 sizing will be better?
I just need to find some alternatives to Titegroup powder because I expect that the recent political turmoil will affect the price of this powder in Poland and all of Europe. Interesting fact - only 1lb packages are available in Poland :-\

Hello, I found most accurate bullet for my CZ SP01.
...of those bullets and powders you tested. Still pretty dang accurate for 82ft.
Here's 4.4gr of N330 under a 124gr FMJ made by Zero at 15yds (45ft)...

The black portion of the bull is 2.30 inches.

Guns are funny beasts. What shoots great in one won't shoot very well in another.
I just got an M&P 2.0 9MM, 4&1/4" barrel and the PC (Performance Center) model. I went to the range yesterday and shot some ammo I was hoping would group well in it. Those reloads turned my 1.0 9MM 5" PC gun into a pretty nice group shooting pistol. Kept me from opening the safe door and setting it on a shelf. Darn. Winchester 115 grain FMJ (the white box stuff) is close, if not slightly better shooting in the new pistol than my reloads. That gun "likes" something else.
When you get a good load, don't stop. Keep experimenting with bullets, powder, etc. and find back ups for your good shooting load so you'll be ready when your favorite powder or bullet isn't available.

I have never really found any quality commercial bullet that didn't shoot well out of any of my CZ or any pistols for that matter. I don't buy them anymore just because I can find other bullets that shoot very well and are less $$$, but my favorite is the Xtreame 135 https://www.xtremebullets.com/9mm-135-RNFP-p/xc9mm-135rnfp-b0500.htm
It's .356 and everything from my Shadow 2 to my P-07, Glock, Staccato they just shot great. I would say give them a try and see how you like em. It's been so long since I have bought any, they haven't gone up in price as much as I thought, so I may try them again.

I have already tested many bullets and many combinations with powders and the best effects in CZ pistols are obtained on RG bullets 115gr FP on rs12 powder - the same set works perfectly in the barrels of my HK- USP9 and Expert. CMJ bullets work well in CZ but in HK there are “flies” on white. Powder coated bullets from 125gr to 154gr work well in HK only to 850fps but in CZ they are good at any speed…true magic…
