My CZ 527 shoots steel case ammo 1.25" to 1.75" moa. I've taken 3 deer with them, They do the job. So after 2 years of only steel case ammo, I bought a box of Federal 123gr. sp. I knew the Federal would shoot better. I didn't think It would be this drastic. Here is the best group of 6 at 100yds. the avg. for all 6 groups was .557" Thats shooting from the bench using the set trigger.

Son.

You KEEP that gun, you hear?

[fireman 9731]

Wow, usually the domestic stuff is junk! I tried some Winchester white box fmj that was horrible. I may have to try to find some Federal.

Does it have small or large primers? Large is the standard but with a relatively small case it is over primed. Most of the time people have the best results with small primed Remington brass, at least when it comes to handloads.

You shoot a lot better than I do, that for certain. I get good groups at 100 yards with my 527M, but nothing like that.

Dangit! I've been wanting one of these but have controlled myself. Now you've just wet my appetite

[fireman 9731]

You cant go wrong with the carbine, it is a sweet rifle. I love mine!

[steveo452]

This is the largest group of the 6 I shot. It was the last one shot thats why It's a 5 shot group. I let one flyer slip out at about 2 o'clock, But It's still sub moa. I will be getting some more Fed ammo for my 527 that's for sure. ( VXII 2-7x33 in Talley rings )

Without a doubt, that's a nice rifle.

You KEEP that gun, you hear?Good advise, but if you should do something foolish like sell it, my info is ............

Very nice shooting. :)

[fireman 9731]

Did you refinish the stock to a gloss? Or dis CZ use to have a model like that?

[gatorjames85]

Wow. Goes to show that 7.62x39 has a lot more accuracy potential than it gets credit for.

[steveo452]

I put the old Scratch-x, Howard feed-n-wax treatment on the stocks of all my cz rifles. (452-.22lr, 452-.17hmr, 527-7.62x39) I like the gloss look. I don't reload so I'm not sure about the size of the primers. They look to be about .210" in dim.

steveo452: Your rifle shoots just great. We shoot a CZ 527 762X39 also and it is becoming one of my favorites, it is a real easy to carry when just walking and I am shooting it more and more. We have always used Wolf 123gr hp`s and our rifles shoots them real well. But not like your groups, and I am going to check the LGS to day and see I can find some Federal 123gr SP`s. I sure hope our rifle shoots them like yours does. You are a very good shot and I complement you. We are just crazy about CZ RIFLES and have a few. Thanks for the info. GOOD LUCK TO YOU: ken

Nice rifle!

[fireman 9731]

The easiest way to tell primer size would be to compare it to another round. .223, 9mm, 40S&W all have small primers. If its bigger than any of them, then it has large primers!

[steveo452]

Fireman, It looks like there large primers. Remington must make both in 7.62x39. I'll post a pic. of the Remington ammo with the Fed. I was shooting. Also a 5.56 nato rd.

Man, I JUST convinced my self to hold off on buying a CZ 527 carbine, and you had to go and post that?!

Great shooting!

[armoredman]

Remington brass in 7.62x39mm takes small rifle primers, all the rest I've tried are large rifle primers.

I have gotten some good groups out of mine, just not that nice, front rested only.

Haven't been able to shoot at 200 for a while, darn it. :(
The rifle is unbelievably light and handy. I dismounted the scope, as I think this is a great brush and camp rifle, with the addition of a Marbles silver soldered adjustable rear sight. I also carry spare mags for it, just in case. ;) Nice to be able to do a mag change if need be.
