Melvin- Great story and pics! I especially like how you show where you were and the vantage point from the coyotes perspective. I recently got a CZ Varmint, I got some loads worked up for hunting coyotes this fall and winter. I am planning on skinning some coyotes this winter, hope the load I worked...

Thanks Silverfox, I appreciate the additional information. I will do some more testing at the range and see what I can come up with. I started with these 35gr pills because so many have good terminal performance on coyotes with them. I wish it had a higher BC but it is what it is. I might try some d...

Yep! Thx WrzWaldo-Greg

Thanks Skipper I appreciate your advise. Greg

Thanks Silverfox, I guess it is a quest for the hottest and most accurate load for me like many. I don't have any experience with working loads over max loads listed. I am familiar with signs of pressure-flattened primers/stiff bolt opening/ pierced primers/cracked cases...some of these I have seen ...

Thanks skipper, I appreciate the feedback, I want to try some 10X powder. I will head back to the range this week and get do some more testing etc. It seems you have done some extensive testing. The only source other than your here I found for the 10x with this bullet comes from Berger and he listed...

I wanted to know if any other CZ varmint owners have chronographed there loads with this bullet. I am finding my chronograph results considerably slower than what I expected. My tube is 25.6". I was expecting maybe an extra 25-50 fps? One such reading I got consistent 3800fps velocity from a ma...

jo191145- I was using new brass on this first trip to the range. I had not considered once fired(neck sized) brass having more capacity. I will check that out. I might see if I can't find a drop tube in the meantime. I am liking the H4895 load with the bergers. Thanks for the info on the larger quan...

futuretrades- I was shooting the 35 gr berger varmint match hp/fb. I am trying to work up a good coyote load for fall & winter this year. I think the H335 load had some promise, I am sure my error on the flyer. As far as another powder for the 40 gr v-max I know a guy over in Idaho posts over on...

I went to the range today to sight in my new CZ Varmint in 204 ruger. After getting on paper up close I moved out to 100 yards and worked up to a max load of H335, and after that worked up to a near max load of H4895. Here are a couple pics. I did run into trouble trying to get more H4895 in the cas...

Thanks Skipper- The Lucas looks like a real nice one. I went ahead this morning and bought one from Sinclair Intl., I ended up with the delrin model specific to the 527 action. I have never used this style before but the tech on the phone said that was all he used and it was very good? I may have to...

Thanks Gary-
I appreciate your help-I will give them a call in the morning. I thought I had everything I needed but never considered a new bore guide. It looks like they are aware the cz might need special collar etc. I measured the bolt diameter and its .585- Greg

I recently bought a CZ 527 varmint in 204-I need a new bore guide as the one I have been using with my 17 Rem (Stoney Point) does not fit the action of the cz. Any help to put me in the right direction would be appreciated. :D I got some loads ready and the scope mounted just about to clean the barr...

Well got the scope mounted and ended up with the high rings that Warne makes. This will also allow me to get the larger scope mounted later if I choose. It is a nice match I think. I hope to post a few pictures later this week. Thanks for everyones help! MH

Thanks alot guys- I should have my scope mounted and get some range time in by next week. MH
