This article contains information on reloading .308 Winchester calibre using Hodgdon BL-C(2) and H4895 powders. Two different types of bullet were used; 146 grain FMJ bullets and Lapua 168 grain BTHP Scenar bullets.

Looking around the various trade stands at WSXVI I had a look at the Brixia Shooting Store stand. I picked up some CZ recoil and hammer springs from them and tried them out in a CZ75 SP01. The CZ recoil spring is available in both 11 and 12 pounds weights. If you are reloading and your ammunition is power factoring ( PF ) below 135 then it is worth using these springs as the slide is easier to hand cycle and at a PF below 135 the slide will cycle faster with these springs over the standard recoil spring.
