ORIGINAL: BrimanWow, sounds like a fun plinker- let us kno whow it shoots.
It must be the week for new toys- I just got a new Springfield 1911 that I'm going to shoot tomorow.
OK! I took it to the range this morning with 20 rounds of handloads using the 180-grain Speer .311" roundnose with 28.5 grains of H335 in Winchester cases and CCI 200 primers. I fired three rounds @ 50 yards to see if it was on paper. These three produced a 0.56" group with two bullets going through one elongated hole. So I moved out to 100 yards, and it made a 1.2" three shot group at that range, again with two through one ragged hole! The other shot was out to the right, but I had called it out to the right. I suspect this is a pretty accurate rifle, but it it SO LIGHT it is difficcult to hold it absolutely still, even on a sandbag!
Used the rest of the ammo, plus some factory stuff, for offhand target practice. This is proving to be a fun gun, and has a decent trigger pull unset (has a single-set trigger).
No noticeable recoil, even with 180 grain bullets. I did not chronograph this load from this rifle yet, but the same load used to give me 1980 FPS out of a Ruger Mini-30, so it should be close out of this gun. Barrel lengths are about the same.
I wish CZ would make this action just enough bigger to hold a .250 Savage and the .22/250!!
