Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires CZ 457 American

Oh dang. That explains a lot. I was reading where it was cost related as well. As the brass required more steps, because it is dimpled in the middle. Seems like a great concept though, to get the priming mix more evenly around the rim of the cartridge where it's actually needed. I really wish I had more of the dang stuff. I know this is a CZ thread, but I recently bought an old Winchester model 320 bolt action, and that rifle also loves that old Federal Gold Medal match:


Now, that damn rifle really impressed me. Almost as smooth functioning as my new CZ 457 American, but cost much less, and appears to be shooting more consistently:



Weather was crap at the range, but I still went out and shot the new to me rifle.


I'll get back to messing around with the CZ 457 American, as that is the rifle I've been wanting for the last couple years. However, if it came down to getting rid of the Winchester vs. the CZ, I'd keep the Winchester. Not to muddy the CZ 457 thread, but that is my feeling when comparing the accuracy between the 2. 2 damn good rifles from different era's that offer a lot for the money. But at the moment, the new to me Winchester 320 checks more boxes for me.
