I prefer the metal ones, but the plastic 5-shot I had worked okay. Get yourself a single-shot adapter too.
My 453 likes RWS SS HPs, which can be found on the WWW pretty regularly. Also Aguila Match Extras, but not the Aguila SS HPs, for some reason.
What is the single shot adapter for? I was wondering about that RWS stuff. Thanks. Travis

I've got two 455's and they both shoot great with wolf MT, crap with CCI SV.

The single shot adapter is basically just a solid, blank magazine that allows you to shoot single shot easier. I stole my sons from his youth scout and got him a 5-shot.
I put the yo dave trigger kit, aluminum mag well, the extended release, and the bottom metal in my American. That trigger kit is the chit for very cheap, I can't imagine needing anything more. My plastic mag well never broke but the magazine never really felt like it snapped in. I always ended up checking and double checking that the mag was in all the way. Now with the aluminum well and extended release the mag snaps in very nicely. There is no doubt now when it locks in. The factory bottom metal seems a little cheap looking though it works just fine. The DIP bottom finishes it off nicely.
The switch barrel feature actually works very well. I just keep an index card with the scope adjustments for each caliber; 22LR, 22mag, 17 HMR. POI has never been an issue for me.
You need to call it. I can't call it for you.

I shot my 455 17 HMR today to confirm it's zero and it was right on at 100 yds!
The two shot group was 3/8" and a little to the right away from the gusty wind.
I changed the trigger spring in mine and it's light and crisp.
I got it for the 17 HMR and never put the 22 barrel on.

Travis You may have seen these Lilja barrels but if not I'll post a link. I don't own a 455, mine are 452's and 453's, but these barrels have been getting very good reviews at rimfirecentral. I've heard of fifty yard five shot .2's being common in 22 LR with good ammo. Not real sure on the other calibers since I'm a 22 shooter mostly. Be advised, a match chamber will likely not extract an unfired round. http://www.riflebarrels.com/products/cz_455.htm

Thanks Clark. But I can't do the match chamber/barrel thing. I like to use Stingers and any other ammo I can steal from friends.

I love me some Stingers! They don't always shoot the best, but they sure kill stuff.
They also give great velocity and expansion from handguns. I won't tell you what I paid for the last two boxes though.
The SS adapter is really nice on the bench when shooting those greasy subsonic and match rounds.
What fresh Hell is this?

Accurate and quiet just can't be beat. My brother is driving from IL next summer so he can participate in the genocide of the rockchuck family that ruined my sleep. You should tag along. Travis

Travis I would recommend the extended release while you are going to be in there anyway. http://www.diproductsinc.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=735026&CAT=3600
You need to call it. I can't call it for you.

How much more do they "extend?"
I don't want it getting bumped when I swing out the driver's side window.
