Thanks,


My favorite rifle is a CZ527 American with a PN 17FB barrel installed.

I load 4198 behind Channing Nagel's excellent 20gr TGV's.

As far as brass goes,,, I bought 500 pieces of Remington when I built the rifle about seven/eight years ago. It's not the best brass but I mostly neck size and anneal on a regular basis. I'm guess ing I've lost 20/30 pieces due to neck splits in that time and I shoot it allot so I can live with that.

I mostly use it on cats and gofers but the few coyotes I've shot went down without any problems.

FG, thanks for the info and photos. Did you have to do any magazine work to accommodate the case diameter or is it the same as the 223 family?

There are 2 rules to success:

1. Never tell everything that you know.
