I am interested in CZ550's loads simply because we don't get ramshot powders here in Australia but I can get RL17 no probs. However, how do you know whether something is safe given there is no reloading data for it. This is not to [bleep] CZ, it is a genuine question. I have been to his site, read the loads and wonder what the pressure being generated is.

I am often cautious of using internet loads but appreciate that there are times when limited loading data is available, as is the case here. I also like the fact that people pioneer and experiment, otherwise improvements are often missed...however when things go bang close to my eyes and face, I like to know the testing has been "proofed" prior to pulling the trigger.

(No offence meant CZ550 if any was taken)


Experience is something you get, just after you needed it.
