New Full sized DWX-OR. Shorter leade than my Shadow.
« on: January 08, 2025, 08:37:48 PM »
Picked up my new DWX Full size today. Was hoping my existing load for my Shadow 1 would work. Didn’t plunk.

Going through Wobbly’s instructions, ended up having to seat this projectile .038” deeper in order to give a sufficient safety margin from jam depth.

Reduced charges and ran some test loads. Mouse fart target loads. Have to wait to test.

FYI, not that many would run this ammo in this weapon, but Federal HST 147, 124 and Federal AE9FP (147) would not plunk. I don’t keep any other factory loads in the house.

In the past it seems like every now and then someone would buy a new CZ and end up having to have the throat opened up/lengthened just a bit to allow more margin.  Or allow them to use certain ammo that worked well in their other handguns.

I ran into the opposite one time.  I was developing some new loads and pulled my P01 out of the holster, field stripped it and used it to set the overall length.  Got to the range and the ammo wouldn't chamber in my M&P 2.0 5" pistol (with an Apex Tactical barrel installed).  Just "assumed" the CZ would be tighter than even the Apex Tactical barrel based on how well the P01 shot (usual/expected CZ performance) vs. the M&P even with the better Apex Tactical barrel.

I guess it's a choice of 1.  altering all your pistols to match enough there are no chamber length issues, 2.  altering all your ammo enough to work in even th shortest chambered pistol, 3. having multiple loads and keeping them identified and separate so the wrong ammo doesn't get loaded in the wrong pistols.

By the way, never had issues with the CZ .40 S&W pistols.  I've got a P09 .40, two P07 .40, CZ75B .40, and a Tactical Sport .40.  Zero issues with any loads working different in different pistols.  At least for the ones I have there's been no issues.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

Yes the DWX chamber is tight. I'm currently working on loads that work with both the DWX and P10 F.  On a side note I picked up a second P10 F a few months ago and found that the chamber was tighter than my first purchased about 2-1/2 years ago.
