My trusted EDC companion. Totally reliable and fits my hand just nicely. Shoots nice groups with Remington Green & White box 115 gr JHP factory ammo.
So, I decided to use the CZ in my club's monthly PPC pistol match. (yes I know, PPC is old school, but so are most of the competitors including me).
The pistol is reliable, so all I had to do is to find a reload that it liked. I found 4 different cast bullet designs and 5 different JHP designs. 124 grain and 115 grain bullets. I chose to use Bullseye propellant because it works very well with reduced loads. (No power factor here.) .
I assembled ladder loads at 0.2 grain increments, from 3.0 to 3.8 grains with all 9 bullet designs.
Then off to my club for 15 yard testing. All of them functioned flawlessly in the CZ. Some were really horrible with tumbling bullets ( a home cast bullet) and large groups. I fully expected the most expensive target bullet to be the most accurate. NOT. Jacketed bullets did OK, most cast bullets were about the same as JHP bullets. However one cast bullet stood out from the entire lot.
The cheapest cast bullet with the smallest (3.0 gr.) powder charge was clearly the best and with the least recoil.
Now I ask you, when has that EVER happened before? Usually the most expensive and highest powder charge wins the contest. Not this time. The 115 grain RNL coated Missouri Bullet Company did the best, smallest group, least recoil and flawless reliability. Kudos to CZ for making such a reliable pistol and Missouri for making such a good bullet.
Mods, debated where to post this, but because it is about a CZ pistol, chose to put it in Autoloading pistols. If you disagree, please move it, Thank you.
