CZ 547 M. .223 vs. 5.56?
« on: January 07, 2009, 09:33:44 AM »

   Anybody have a CZ 547M in .223 Remington, and fired military 5.56mm out of it?

   Any problems?  (Operation, accuracy or otherwise?)

Thanks, Mannyrock

I'm not familiar with the 547M, but I have a 527 American in .223 that I've fired a small amount of US M855 (aka NATO SS109) 62-grain ammunition through.  No overt problems, just distinctly poor accuracy.
