I shot the new CZ last night and all I can say is holy crap. What a shooter!!! Using factory ammo my average group was 1.25 with the biggest being 1.5 and the smallest being around .75. I am one happy camper.

Sweet,thats better than what mine's doing right now.What did you find to be the most accuarte factory ammo in your gun?

6.5 X 55? Reb will be proud of ya
Enjoy your new gun WA.

Kona, I only had one box of Federals for it and they were 140's. If I can get reloads to shoot as good I'll be very happy. Anybody have any good reloading info they would care to share?

Try the Hornady 140 grain interlock with IMR 4350. I have reloaded tons of those bullets for the 6.5 using 4350 and IMR 4831. I get from 2500-2700 fps depending on the barrel length. That combo will take most NA game like a bolt from the blue.

James, what is your starting point for the powder. I can start at the mid point in the book and work up but, if at all possible I would like to cut through all the time and just find a load that works well in the CZ. I would like to stay around 2700 if at all possible. The factory loads I shot were supposidly2600 and they sure shot good. Have you ever tried Hornady SST bullets?

James you still praising them junky ol swedes?

Every chance I get.Try 42 Grains of IMR 4350. I took that load from the Speer Manual some years back and its been safe in my Military 6.5 Swedes. I have loaded for six or eight different 6.5's and the velocity has varied quite a bit with that load. However the accuracy has been good in all of them.

I've used the 140gr SST on deer. I don't remember the velocity I was getting but it sure knocked the wind out of deer. The best factory round in my rifle was 140gr Federal. I was able to cover a 3 shot group with a nickle at 100yards.
