Is anyone loading for this caliber? I'm thinking about getting a CZ82 but was wondering if it would be worth reloading. Also, does anyone know if its okay to use lead bullets in the CZ 82 with the polygonal barrel?

I'm bumping this 9 year old thread because I bought a Polish P64 in 9x18 and will start to reload for it soon.
Does anybody have experience? Which dies do you recommend? Which mfg of components? (Please don't post vendors though).
Any favorite loads?
Interesting to see others reload this caliber. I considered reloading for my CZ82 (before selling it last year) but for such a cheap gun, I just shot the cheap steel cased ammo through it.
Exactly .....
Now it's 200$ plus when I see it and the only bullet I can find is hornady for 18 cents each.
I acquired a nice used cz82 10round 9mm Makarov from my uncle in Tn awhile ago. since one of the pistols I reload for is 9mm luger,I have ample supply of fired brass. I sent for Lee dies in 9mm makarov,and found through ebay a hand case trimmer to adjust brass length to 9mm Makarov length. I located some 95gr lead bullets from online store and began reloading process. Forget exact powder weight,but went with ww231,since have ample supply and use for my .45acp 1911 pistols. After loading up 50 rounds,went to my indoor gun range and tried out. All performed excellent,good accuracy,and no ftf or fte. Don't really shoot this gun a lot,since mostly enjoy my 1911's and .38 specials. Found another 10 round magazine online,as wanted to have one extra. Reloading for over 45yrs,so this first time with this pistol/caliber was a learning experience. As far as polygonal rifling is concerned,I have a Glock 21 SF in .45acp,and have reloaded,shot hard cast bullets in it. Never any issues,just make sure I give barrel a good cleaning when done shooting it.Is anyone loading for this caliber?
