Hornady Factory and Temperature

Re: fiocchi factory rounds

I've gotten some decent groups with the Fiocchi 32s at 100 yards .75 to .5". I just got a box of 40gr V-Max factory ammo and got my first sub half inch group. The rifle is a CZ varmint kevlar and shot off a bi-pod.

I guess I'm hoping to do some more precision sort of thing using Wilson dies and an arbor press, but am constrained by the expense at the moment. Oh and my CZ is a 1:12 IIRC. I do have the older model with the HS P...

Re: Tell us about yourself...

I'm new here also. I recently acquired a CZ 527 Varmint Kevlar and put a Harris bi-pod and a SWFA SS fixed 10x mildot scope on it. Sweet rifle and I am getting some good groups with it. I just picked up some Harnady 40 gr V-Max and got my best group ever on the second group - almost a third MOA at 1...
