Its some unbranded military stuff... It was about £7 or £8 for 20 rounds. Just some cheapo stuff to give the rifle a quick work out.

I was told not to use military stuff in my CZ .223 as apparently it has high pressure? ;)

It was my rifle smith who told me, but im not too sure on this? ;)

Its OK. I only capped off about 5 or 6 of them. The Magtech stuff was almost as reasonable, so I used up all of that sighting the rifle in.

The rounds did not seem any hotter than the Horandy or Magtech stuff. The only thing I did notice was that they did not chamber as smoothly as the other stuff. Also, they used 55g FMJ's, so they stabalised OK as well.

Contrary to what I have said in my previous posts, I think I am going to fork out for a loading press. Even at £15 per 20 rounds, thats going to cost me £375 a year if I shoot my estimated 500 rounds. Setting up the loading gear will cost about £100, so its will work out better in the long run.

Anyone got any recommendations for loading gear suppliers?

The annoying thing is, when the handgun ban came into force I sold all my reloading gear. I had a decent Lee progressive press, auto disc powder measure, auto prime, the works. Wish I had hung onto it.

 

I have seen a full reloading set, O-Press, powder measure, set of dies etc, for about £110 or so, so I dont think its going to be that expensive.

 

What I wouldnt mind is a bipod, any recommendations?

Frank I have worked out why there is a bipod on the pistol. Its simple:

 

- You get a guy to stand in front of you with their leg wide open so as to lower them down a bit.

 

- Then you open the bipod, set a leg on each of the shoulders of the guy standing in front of you, looking like he has pis**d himself.

 

- You then simple take aim and fire.

 

- Important safety point: never wear a cap with one of those wee buttons on top, it may get blown off and or cause a ricochet :);)
