223 rem in CZ 527 American with NOE 22-055

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

Last fall I bought a GB NOE 22-055 mold, a clone of an RCBS,
with the plans of buying a 223 bolt action rifle.
WELL, I finally got the rifle.
my first test loads were a success.
these boolits sized to .225 with a Gator gas check,
lubed with Carnuba Red, actually weight is 60gr.
I loaded them in FL sized LC Nato brass, trimmed
to length with Lee's case length guage/cutter setup to 1.752"
I started with 12.8 gr. of Reloader 7
Yesterday at the range, I shot four 5 shot groups
and they averaged 1.5 MOA at 100 yards with that load,
I'll try to refine that some later. But what excellent results
right out of the box.

Yeah, this "shot once" rifle (as the gunshow vendor told me)
was the most accurate rifle the previous owner ever claimed to own.
I got a kick out of that statement. It came with this behemoth of a burris,
I'll probably replace it with something a bit smaller...maybe.

I love my 527.

Those maple ones are cool. Glad to hear it shoots too!

Have a 527 Carbine in .223 with an old 4X Kollmorgan scope on it. Great rifle.

Those CZs are Purdy shooten irons!!

That NOE 225-55 is a great boolit. I am currently loading it in Mil brass for a AR-15. I am using a DPMS Sportical upper with 16" pencel barre,l 5.56 1x9, on a Plum Crazy lower.

The load I shoot is 21.5 gr of Surplus WC844 lit with a Wolf SRM primer. This cronies 2400 FPS and I get no leading at all with LBT blue, Speed green or White label 50/50. Boolitz are sized to 225 and gator checks cover their butt. I seat them to just cover the lube groove.

I should try this load in my Mini Mark X.

My 223 is a Tikka with a 1:8" twist. I may have to run my NOE cast boolits through my 222 and 22/250, 788 Remingtons.
