Any CZ owners out there?
« on: December 11, 2004, 08:55:18 AM »
:D  I just bought a 527 American .223 for coyotes and would like to tap the vast experience here at Graybeard for advice on what shoots well in others' CZ.  I'm a coyote hunting newbie as well and trying to get started in a new hobby.  Anyone in my area interested in breaking me in?  Thanks for any help folks.

Sellier and Bellot works best.

Fortunately, CZ guns are good with most brands.  My CZ 527 sporter in .223 prefers Sellier and Bellot with a 55 grs bullet.  If I can't find that, the Black Hills remanufactured load in 55 grs, and the PMP factory brand work the best.

The worst accuracy wise, Wolf brand, hard to chamber and hard to extract due to the lacquered case, and the tight chamber of the CZ.  Remington is not so good, and Winchester white box just did not cut it.  Which surprised me as the Winchester brand usually works really well in my other guns.

I have a CZ 527 with Kevlar stock (223) that eats anything from 45 to 55 gr., brand does not seem to matter. Does 1/2 to 1" at 100 yards, 5 shot groups.
The better the ammo the better the groups.
Right now using Hornady remanufactured Coyotee brand, 55gr SP, does 1/2" groups.
