Hey just wondering if theres any issues with using cast lead bullets in a cz-75, i know glocks your not suppose to but was just wondering about the cz?
lead in a CZ-75

I've shot lots of cast bullets through my CZ without difficulty. I get a small amount of lead fouling after several hundred rounds, but this is easily removed with a piece of copper scouring pad wrapped around a brush.
Glocks can be used safely with cast bullets, but the barrels are more prone to leading and absolutely must be cleaned regularly.

Not all bullet styles works in my SP01. I needed this lee
Other bullet stlyes where jamming on the rifling and the cartridges were not feeding fully.
After finding something that fed well they delivered decent accuracy around 3 inches at 25 Yards.

i was figured a 125 gr round nose woudl work well? whats worked for everyone else?
lead is almost all I use in my 9mm (CZ, SIG, S&W, Beretta, Browning, Glock). I found the DRG 135 LRN worked best. For factory re-loads, Wolf loaded withthe 135LRN also worked best.
best load so far is 3.9gr of 231. Dirty, but accurate.
I clean my guns about every 500 rounds. Just before cleaning I fire 5 rounds of plated bullet ammo. This seems to blow the lead out.

this one did not work in my sp01 shadow
You will only find out what works by trying, I ended up buying 3 6 cavity molds before finding one that worked well.
Truncated cone bullets such as the Lyman 3546402 work extremely well. Their 147 gr mold at 147 gr is also a very good bullet. The lube on lead bullets makes cleaning your gun afterwards mandatory. If your bullets are properly sized and lubed you should not see much leading in the barrel. If you do just wrap 100% copper Chor Boy pad material around an old cleaning brush and the lead is out of your barrel after a couople of strokes. Nake sure it is 100% copper pading not copper coated steel.

Jason I have the SP-01 and Shadow and both guns will shoot the truncated cone style bullets just fine. From your description I suspect you were loading them to long causing them to jam on the rifling and not feeding fully. With the ramped barrel the CZ's will shoot just about anything you throw in them but you have to load the cartridges to the right length for your gun.

125grn RNBB
Titegroup 3.6grns
OAL: 1.125
Works in a shadow or a pre-B really well

The truncated cone works in mine as well. As does the lee with the single grease groove, however that lee required the bullet to be seated waay deep to function. I felt that reducing the case volume could spike pressure so I tried another style of bullet.

Most airborne lead from gunfire actually comes from the primers. Cast bullets are no worse than regular FMJ bullets with an exposed base.
To completely prevent lead from being vapourized from the bullet bases, you would have to use either CMJ or plated bullets, but you still have to contend with the lead from the primers.
