I have a Vz 82 I got from J&G some time back. It was part of a group they had sent out, bead blasted, and parkerized. Great gun! I also reload for 9x18. While the 9mm para. cases can be shortened you have to be very careful with the inital firing. 9x18 chamber dimensions are not those of 9mm para. they have a larger diameter and you "could" have a case rupture. You also have to check your case mouths carefully (because of the bigger "bell" you need) after you case moth expand AND after seating the bullet. Trimming 9mm cases was popular years ago when the Russian Maks started being shipped here. Now that 9x18 brass is available there isn't a great need to shorten the para. brass.

I use 3.4 gr of TiteGroup and the Hornady XTP's with good results and high confidence. They feed and cycle just fine.

Not trying to be a smart a$$ about your reloading habits or style. You may be the safest reloader on the planet. I've been reloading a few decades myself and have both eyes and all my fingers.
