With the CZ 527 being a CRF action, I'm not sure you can just open the bolt face up to accommodate the different size brass.
A 17-222 would be a sweet little gun for those 25 grainers and would feed smooth as silk through any action. A couple hundred pieces of Lapua 222 brass necked down to .17 cal would easily last through a barrel or two.
