    CZ 550 ULTIMATE HUNTING RIFLE (UHR) .300 Win Mag..?

    CZs notoriously have fast twist rates..do your homework and if you see what tjey do to create a UHR you would realize it is a steal....u can get one for about 1100 now on GB.. .it is lapped and accurized to the Nth degree and now that the price is about the same as a FNH Winchester...its a no...

    Thinking of getting CZ in 9.3X62

    Wow My god..even these bullet manufacturers have theoretical limits to their max MV.........Speed is NOT the absolute detreminate of penetration regardless of bellet/projectile type from a gun...now a M1 Abrams thats a different story...why they use depleted Uranium......more than twicce as...

    Thinking of getting CZ in 9.3X62

    FYI I acquired my info fron Jarret's website so I guess he does not know what he is talking about? I also read 2 articles on the effects of hypersonic speed on bullet penetration/deflection-----Fluid dynamics will create a wall of resistance that gets stiffer when a force hits it at an acute...

    CZ 550 Rifle Opinions?

    Those are great guns to have in a CZ....have both of them ...my CZ shooots 45gr Winchester USA's with sub 1' groups at 200 yards.....that 1 on 12 twist really shines here............and my gun has almost a Kimber quality stock........Just added my 16th CZ!......added a 404 Feffery Safari Classic...

    Thinking of getting CZ in 9.3X62

    Love my CZ in FS but am loath to take it in the Adirondacks for deer......can be monsoonal......plus the nights are so damp that you will wake up soaked to the bone even in summer and in a tent sometimes.......wish I had their Kevlar/SS gun......might chance it this year,or a 358Norma I have in...

    Thinking of getting CZ in 9.3X62

    Thanks.......I have a 30-378 as well and never hunted with it...it is obscenely fast but way accurate.......I am a firm believer in the 358/366 calibers...feel they are overlooked as in the past bullet choices really limited capabilities...no longer.......wish I bought a 370sako when I had the...

    Thinking of getting CZ in 9.3X62

    Have read at least 3 articles on speed vs penetration.......a hypervelocity round will create it's own resistance on impact due to increased resistance from the hydro-static shock........the projectile expands faster and shrugs off energy much faster........this applies to solids as well...why...

    Thinking of getting CZ in 9.3X62

    Have mine in a FS model.......with todays bullet quaity I would put a 9.3 or 35 Whelen against any 375 ammo with regard to penetration...speed is the enemy of penetration...any serious shooter knows this....it's about the bullet...my 550FS and Tikka 35 Whelen carry like a dream and imho opinion...

    Don't handload.........I have picked up a minimum of 20 boxes of ammo for each of me babies once I knew what they liked.......before ammo went CRAZY.....................also bought the loading dies for each caliber....just in case..................kinda expensive to get started HL'ing now when I...

    What 375 H & H rifle would you Purchase and Why

    CZ's are still the best value for ANY caliber...plenty of entry level guns out there for a bit less...but what will they be worth/look like in 10 to 15 years.................Had a chance to hold a CZ "effect".......very nice...........wish they would make a 527 FS in 17 Hornet.........would make...

    What 375 H & H rifle would you Purchase and Why

    Great choice....FN is raising the bar on Winchester firearms.....almost too pretty to hunt with.....another reason I liked CZ's....like a pair of good boots...built for the long haul thru the worst you can throw at em....and scratches are character lines...not reasons for tears!....I have a...

    Hunting Officially Banned in Botswana from 2013

    Hunters are the eyes and ears of wildlife.........now the poachers will have free reign/dominion over all game animals as long as they pay a select few to be blind/deaf...well they are already dumb so no need to pay for that quality.......so now all the villages who depended on the money from...

    CZ 550 Rifle Opinions?

    I can't agree more.....on the 9.3 that is......such an easy round to shoot...does not break the bank......loaded up on some Norma ammo at the Sp guide for less than $35/box...stated it was military when it was their Vulkan or Alaska round...don't recall...either way it is premium 235gr(?) ammo...

    Congrats on your Montana....One thing is for sure it is nice to see so many people passionate about their guns! I have 16 CZ's now and NONE are shooting so low that I can't gat a scope zeroed without shims...........I have my stainless Sako's because they are truly 100% stainless....not just the...

    338 Winchester Magnum

    Velocity(over) is the enemy of penetration and expansion.......a 338 round at twelve rounds will create so much hydrostatic shock that it's like a bullet hitting a concrete wall...little penetration and more than likely bullet destruction......bullets are designed to perform at a range of...

    CZ 550 ULTIMATE HUNTING RIFLE (UHR) .300 Win Mag..?

    I have 15 CZ/Brno rifles and they ALL shoot sub MOA so theoretically they should ALL shoot MOA regardless of distance....so much at 500+ yards has to do with the Shooter and optics.......and PRACTISE........and bullet BC.......NOT about the rifle......MOA at 1000 yards is about 10...

    358 STA

    Building a 358 STA to go along with my 358 Norma....wondering if there are any concerns fireforming brass from 7mmstw ammo or would I be better off selling the ammo and buying the correct cases? They ARE pricey but I have about 10 boxes of 7mm STW ammo(Win bst and Rem core-lokt,all...

    Ruger M77 Magnum in 416 Ruger - Opinions

    Saw a thread on this site that the loader was getting these velocities out of his Rigby...the case capacity of a 416 Rigby is only 1 grain ligter than the weatherby....Stands to reason they can achieve the same velocities........the limiting factor for accuracy being the gun/twists and...

    Ruger M77 Magnum in 416 Ruger - Opinions

    Just rec'd my 416 Rigby....don'y know about Ruger rifles but the cartridge intrigues me in that it has about 15+% more case capacity than the 416 Rem or 416 Ruger......that means the gun will recoil softer with lower case pressures while meeting the competitions ballistics....was considering the...

    Thinking of getting CZ in 9.3X62

    Another thought...up until recently many regions allowed Buffalo hunts with a 9.3....before the 375 became the minimum.......so I am sure it can any plains game.....including Wildebeast........besides I am sure your PH will be packing a 416 or larger........

    Thinking of getting CZ in 9.3X62

    Go figure...just zero'd my 550 FS 9.3 today....what a joy to shoot...compact and lethal...1.5" group at 200 yards(factory Norma ammo)......with a 4 power scope with quick detach rings....just in case...I am partial to my FS CZ's....to get a comparable FS gun in a 9.3 you need to spend over 2...

    338 Winchester Magnum

    The 338 Win Mag is a great caliber.......My Beretta Mato is a slick rig in 338....with 210 gr partitions can handle about anything North America can dish out.......it's scary what it does to deer size game inside 200 yards.......I have 4 338's....I convince people who are going to hunt in Canada...

    Dollars to Doughnuts CZ's are the most consistent gun for the money in the past 10 years...bar none....others have caught on but their prices are now MUCH more than a base 550......Where were they 10-15 years ago when we were pluncking down our cash? I own 15 CZ's/Brno's and not one of them has...

    416Rigby vs 458win

    458 wm vs 416 Rigby Just received my 416 Rigby and after looking at the cases....jeez they look familiar.........that Rigby case is the parent to the 378 wby case...the 416wby and Rigby have virtually the same case capacity....meaning you can reload 416 brass over and over since 2400fps is only...

    450 Majoor, 460 Short A Square, 450 Vincent Short anyone?

    458vs 460 Talked to a gentleman who went to Africa with a 460 and was advised to download the cartridge due to fear of TOO much penetration and the risk involved to other cape buffalo...bullets do not pass straight thru and can take some pretty radical paths. I own a 458Lott but almost...

    458 Winchester Magnum, more powerful than 458 Lott?

    solution Want a caliber that uses the full length of the 375 case,better sectional density and BC in a 500 gr pill? Want a bit more case capacity than a 458 Lott? Try a 470 Capstick....own both a 458 Lott and the 470 capstick...so I don't need to argue with myself over any issue......if they...
