I've been working up a hunting load for my CZ 527 in .223 using 64 grain powerpoints and reloader#7. The rifle LOVES the bullets. Shooting a 2" 300 yard group. But the velocity is about 300 fps shy of what the manuals say it should be at only 2630fps. Do any of you guys have a pet load for this bullet?

P.S. the rifle has a 20.5" barrel and 1:12 rifling.

Don't have my notebook details handy but I have a 22 inch 1:9 bolt gun that likes 64 gr powerpoints pretty well over WW748 (kills deer just fine too) and IMR4198 shows promise but there is more work to do.

Win 64gr pp,2015 24gr.MAX LOAD!!!!!

I just worked up a load with the 64 grain Winchesters for a friend's .223. Five shots went into .67" propelled by 25 grains of H-335. Velocity from his abbreviated 20" barrel was 2900 fps. A 24" tube would undoubtedly yield over 3000 fps. This was with military cases. CAUTION: This load is safe in this particular rifle. Not having tried it in any other rifle, I cannot say what kind of pressure potential it might have.

WOW!!... i just glanced at this and thought you were using 60+gr OF rel7.....
