Have a LH CZ 527 in 204 Ruger and wanted to share my recent experiences. As you know it has a 21 5/8 inch barrel. I was sighting in with some Hornady 32 gr and Remingon 39 gr ammo. I was noticing that it wasn't grouping better than 1.5-2 inches when shooting at 100 yards, at best. When going out to 200 yards, I wouldn't shoot at anything small due to the group sizing. Thought it might be due to the barrel being threaded for a can. Started handloading and found a 1/2 MOA load at 100 and 200 yards. Haven't run it over a chrony yet, but it is on the low end of the recommended charge in the Nosler Manual for IMR 4198 and 32 gr bullets.
Wondering if anyone else has run into this with barrels under 22 inches long.
