Default New CZ 527 221 FB



I purchased a new CZ 527 Carbine in .223 ordered a Krieger .700" at 22" and sent it to be barreled. I pillar and glass bedded the action just in front of the lug. Barrel is 22", no turn .255 neck and .025 freebore. I broke it in and these are 2 of the first groups with 5 different powders.

Very nice looking targets.

Does the CZ action get along with the Fireball cases?

Impressive groups for just getting started - not too much room for improvement there!

Very nice. My 221FBs like RL-7 and AA2200, never tried the two powders you used.

I got lucky with this one. I used new Lapua brass, ran an expander into the necks and they came out .001 under the V Max, checked the flash holes and chamfered. Loaded .010 short with CCI 400 primers.

Got to love the little 221 FB. Looks like she's a shooter. Those are great groups. Nice rifle. Enjoy her.

Works fine. The Mauser style extractor gets rid of the problems you have with Rem 223 actions converted to 221.

Nice groups you are getting. That should be death the grass rats and Woodchucks big time.

I put together loads with 1/10 grain more powder and Sierra BK's, I'll see how they shoot next week. I'll post the results.
