Won't help you. You'll just mess with the trigger and miss.

Funny!  ABolt is the one who adjusted my trigger.

I'll give you my gun when Ernie gives me his gun.  Heck maybe you guys are on to something here.  Lets all swap guns for the season!

Wish I had a recipe for you but I don't reload.  No sense reloading when you can't hit nothing.

The cz's seem to like the 39grain sierra over reloader 10x. I would suggest shooting an Audette ladder and determine what charge your rifle likes. Once you have charge weight then play with seating depth....but remember the magazine will only accept OAL of about 2.350 at the max. If you want to shoot single shot then Jim Calhoon in Havre, MT makes a real nice follower to replace the clip magazine. Use a thick cupped primer like remington's 7 1/2. My CZ Varmint target likes 25.1 grains of Reloader 10x with winchester brass federal 205M primers with the 39 grain Sierra. Sill playing with seating depth but seems good at 2.300 OAL and may get better closer to the lands...that is next at the range. With that 39 sierra the max OAL in my rifle would be 2.420 but that is not measured to the ogive and the plastic tips vary in length. Half inch 5 shot groups routinely with a 3 shot ragged hole measuring .160 possible ....love the rifle!
