CZ 550

[Jacob Garrett]

Has anyone tried the CZ 550 in a .243? What kind of accuracy can you expect out of them? Any known bad points on them? I have seen a few of there rimfire rifles that shot awesome groups but have never saw anyone shooting a centerfire made by them. Any info. on them would be appreciated.

I have a CZ 527 American in 204 Ruger that shoots great with factory loads. This is 5 shots at 100 yards using 32gr Remington Accutips. They are the only ammo ive useind in it so far.

This is 10 shots at 200 yards right after the first 5 with no cool down time.

I've had a CZ-550 in 9.3 x 62 for a number of years...With 250 grain Barnes X bullets, it shoots 3 shotgroups around 1/2 inch at 100 yards...

It's capable of taking on cape buffalo, but it thinks it's a VARMIT rifle..

CZ centerfires are noted for accuracy...In my opinion they are a very good buy for the price...

Ive got a 2 CZ's, One in 6.5x55 swedish mauser and one in .260 rem. They both are incredibly accurate!!!!!!!! And mine are both shooting about the same I have them reloaded 7 rains over the limit. Those things are damn fast.

Hey bigbucks, I have always been curious about the capability of these 2 different but closely related rounds ... and I own only older military actions in 6.5 X 55, so have never realized it's true capabilities in a stronger action.
What can you tell me about your 2 different 6.5's (6.5 X 55 and .260) in terms of which one you can load faster, hotter, etc?????
I know I'm limited to certain pressures in my Swede rifles, and have always heard about how a modern action in 6.5 X 55 can push the limits.........What have you learned about each round?
