[QUOTE="B23, post: 1420154, member: 13222"] The factory stuff shoots pretty darn good in these CZ 527 17 Hornets. You should be able to dial a load in that'll probably shoot a little better and my hand loads definitely shoot faster than factory ammo. The one thing that makes it tough to really dial a load in with these CZ's and just about all factory guns for that matter, is they come with soooooo much freebore and you'll never be able to get the bullets even remotely close to the lands. I just bought another CZ 527 Varmint 17 Hornet this past week and knowing how they chamber these things at the factory, I'm considering having the barrel set back a couple threads and have it re-chambered with a match reamer and much less freebore so I can touch the lands. BUT, I'm having a hard time convincing myself to do that because these dam things always shoot so well, even with their oversized chambers and long freebore. [/QUOTE]
