A CZ550 American in 9.3x62 (oxymoron I know) that appears to be either seldom or never fired. I saw one a few years back in the composite stock, and have regretted not buying it since... I wasn’t going to let that happen this time. This American stock is absolutely beautiful and quite trim compared to the pig that was on the 550 UHR I briefly owned. Talleys are in the mail, now I need dies, brass, 250gr accubonds... -JW

Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite! Stolen from an erudite CF member.

I've seen some 527s with pretty wood, and some 452s, but never seen anything "nice" on a 550. That one is SHARP! You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

geedubya Campfire Outfitter G Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 14,071 Texas	My go to load in the past was Norma Brass, 250 gr. Accubonds, 58 gr. varget, Fed 210M primers and 3.290 OAL. I upped the last loads to 60 grains. The Nosler #7 manual shows 56.5 grains of Varget as max load,with 52.5 grs. of Varget shown as the most accurate load with the 250 Accubonds. It is seldom that I load over book max, but I did on the Sako, and had no problem with blown primers or stretched cases. Sako 75 Hunter. Originally 30-06, re-bored to 9.3 x 62. ya! GWB A Kill Artist.

This ones now wearing a Swarovski 1-4 Rabid Creedmoorians ring my doorbell ... as I open it a crack they speak : "Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior , 6.5Creed?"

With the quarter rib and long ring spacing, not any scope would work. Actually Zeiss 1.5-4.5x18, not Swaro... I like your FS 550, nice wood. DF Last edited by Dirtfarmer; 06/18/19.
