I have the C-Z 527 Varmint.
My best load so far is:
32 grain Sierra Blitz King
26.8 Benchmark
Remington 7 1/2 primer.
Winchester Brass
I load them to the standard OAL.
Average Velocity 3660 fps
At 100 yards it consistently shoots in the mid to upper .3's and I have printed several 5 shot groups in the mid .2's
I shot my best group ever with this load the other day-the first two shots were overlaped and the next three went into the holes the first two made. I was mad and thought the last three shots went off paper until I walked up to get the target. It measured 0.22" All of my non shooting friends couldnt understand my excitement. A few of them said "big deal". I guess non shooters just dont get it!
My second favorite load is:
39 grain Sierra Blitz King
25.8 H335
Reminton 7 1/2 Primer
Winchester Brass
Standard OAL
Average velocity is 3462 fps
this load is a consistent .5" 5 shot grouper at 100 yards and I have managed a few groups in the low .3's

The V-maxes got worse at 2.305. I still have not found a load that shooots with the V-maxes or the 40gr Bergers. On a positive note the 2.284 39sbk with 25.1 RE10x shot a .313 5 shot group today.
