Jerry EdenCZ 527 American Sporter
I just received my CZ527 in 223 Rem, and thought I would give a little performance report.
After initial sight in, I used some handloads that I had put together for my Model 700 V, I reseated the bullets to the throat of the CZ set em .010 off, and went at it. 27.8 grains of reloader 15 gave me a 3 shot group of .800, and 24.8 grains of IMR 3031 shot .750. All used a Hornady #2250 53 grain HP. This with a B&L 2X7 scope.
When I get the time to taylor a load I think I can get it down into the 6's maybe even the 5's with a little tlc.
This is the second CZ I have bought, I also own a 375 H&H, and the 6th in the group I shoot with, and they all are tack drivers.
