My new (actually well used but new for me) CZ527 Laminated Varmint in .223Rem with Boyds At-one stock, 1/12'' twist barrel shortened to 20", with a Jaki suppressor and Meopta 4-16x44 Mil-Dot. I hope I can get it shoot nicely enough to bust raccoon dogs at distances up to 300 meters, need to develop a load for 53gr V-max.

Howdy !
Here are pics of my varmint/target rifle, shown w/o scope mounted ( for easier detail viewing )
Stock is a heavy side wall extruded aluminum "I" beam, oriented as an "H".
Barrel clamp is doubled-up " plumbing clamp " plates. Carriage bolts combined w/ bottom plates borrowed from "U-bolts; and nylon insert lock nuts. 24" lb torque.
Stock for end and butt pieces are made from 5/4 composite deck board. The composite cheek rest piece is also removable, for ease in cleaning from the breech. I used drywall screws as attaching hardware, and some TRV in the central valley of the beam. No butt pad.
Trigger guard is a galvanized conduit hanger, flattened out to an "L" shape.
Trigger/ trigger hanger are replaceable via access from the underneath side of the stock.
Action = Wichita WBR1375 single shot ( s/n 15 ).
Barrel = Broughton 29" SS 1-8 5-"C" rifled 6mm Palma, chambered in my "DEEP 6 " wildcat.
DEEP 6 chamber is cut by running a 6mm Remington reamer in "short", for a nominal .466" base diam.
7 X 64 Brenneke is the parent brass, as it has the required .466" base diam I need.
7 X 64 is .308 bolt face compatible rimless, and I use Norma brass ( LR primed ).
DEEP 6 case capacity = 51.2gr H20 . It has the same long VLD-friendly neck that the 6mm Rem has.
I put a slot in the beam for the recoil lug, but really didn't need to, as recoil forces are comparatively low; thanx to rifle all-up weight.
The barrel clamp is re-locatable, and helped me tune out undesired verticle. I only had the adjust the clamp 1/2" fwd from flush against the recoil lug, to where good groups became possible.
I typically use Sierra 95 "T-Mk" or Berger 95VLD for groundhog, and for target work.
RL-22 has shot very well, and I'm doing range work these days w/ the Sierra 95 over RL-23 and RL-26 charges.
Scope right now, is a 2X-boosted T-36, mounted w/ Ken Ferrel 20mao base and rings.
With regards,

I definitely want to purchase a can for one of my Rifles, but which one ?? 223, 22-250 or the 220 swift ?

Get a ultra 9 and use it on all of them. Or get a omega or yhm and save a few bucks.

Here's my best shooting groundhog gun.
Ruger Custom build 25-06.
Loves 90 Gr BlitzKing. Shoots 1/2 Moa or better with IMR4831.
Have a number of 500 yd kills.
I've upgraded the scope to a Swarovski Z5 3.5-18x44.
