My CZ 97b broke a barrel lug...again.
It seems a 200gr LSWC works best around 5gr with Bullseye, but I was having ejection issues and upped it to 5.5gr, still under max per the Lyman manual. It would still jam every so often with the empty case flipped around backward.
Is this too hot? Could my recoil spring have been too weak, whacking the slide stop too hard? Maybe the powder creates too fast of a slide speed? Any other recommended powders to prevent this?
Any help would be appreciated, once I get it fixed again I'm not trying to kill it a third time.
