Max OAL is around 1.06 but that?s not really worth noting as the brass starts bulging well before that. I?ll take measurements and post them after work.

That's a very common issue with lots of 147gr bullets in the CZ.

I used RP brass, it plunks well but doesn?t spin in the chamber well. OAL is 1.063 five or take. It won?t really seat any deeper.
ETA bullet length is 0.624, bearing surface is about 0.380. Diameter is 0.355

At 1.063, you're looking at a seating depth of .314.  I'd load them and shoot them.  :)

I got my bag of 250 today and played with them for a little bit before work ! Just grabbing a couple cases out of the bin on my 550 I got 1.076/1.075ish or so by pushing the case/bullet into my 07 chamber. So seating it in at .015/.020 more will get me around the same as you have @ 1.063. It looked OK and figure I will play with them and see. I have 148 Lead that are powder coated that I get from a friend but being round nose I have to seat them a bit shorter yet. They run fine in all my guns (07/S2/SP-01) and are wicked cheap but these RMR bullets look interesting even though for me they are close to twice the cost. I'll kick some out over the weekend and see what I get. What are you guys using for powder,,,I am looking at Universal myself,,but have others to play with. I'll keep ya posted !  ;)
