New CZ 97 BD followed me home
« on: March 22, 2018, 11:54:41 PM »
LGS ordered a CZ 97 BD 2 years ago it showed up on Tuesday and followed me home today. My question is what should I feed it ? my Colt gov. model likes cast lead 185 and 200 gr. SWC's and Hi-Tek coated 200 gr SWC's will the same diet work well with my new 97 BD ?  Most of my shooting will be indoors at 10 to 25 yards.
All my 9mm CZ's seem to like 124gr. bullets but will fire and cycle about anything are the 97's as forgiving ?

I load and like 200gr SWCs for my 97BD.  They can be finicky if the step above the case mouth isn't just right (best if the shoulder of the bullet is ~0.035 inch over the case mouth).

The SWCs are lasers though and you can't complain about the clean round holes in paper.  Makes scoring easy!

Cheers,
Toby

Thanks Tdogg that's good news I have plenty of Bayou Bullets coated 200 gr SWC's  Fed. large primers  W-231 , Clays , Univ. and good old Bullseye.   It looks like my new CZ and my old Colt will play well together.

I haven?t found it to be picky - it eats anything I feed it.
