Lloyd90 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 A black marker from WH Smiths is cheaper I believe this method is described in my reloading manual. Will develop a load that shoots well first, hopefully I won't need to do a whole lot else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) I have to admit, although I am by no means an expert by any stretch of the truth or imagination, I tend to look at the manual recommended COL, set my bullet around 0.010 further out than that, check the bolt closes and develop a 'hunting' load around that. I'm not chasing one-hole results but simply a load that is accurate to a sensible degree in my rifle in most conditions. However, a bullet comparator is a handy addition to the reloading arsenal as it allows you to check the bullets you load against a set point on the bullet (the ogive). That's way better than rely on consistency from the tip, be it ballistic polymer type or soft lead.

So using the comparator gives you a base mark to measure each time, which is more exact than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I don't want to sound rude but your shooting a cz that was made in mass and tolerances are measured with fingernails. Load, adjust powder till you have submitted inch and get out and enjoy. Nothing wrong with CZ what so ever but you might be chasing something that's not possible and wasting your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigEd85 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I recently started reloading and when I did I had a sort of mission statement as I did not want to end up buying loads and kit and spending more money. All I wanted was to be able to do 1/2 inch groups or under at 100m all day long, this was to be achieved with the minimal amount of equipment and time. It just so happens that I get 1/4 inch groups with sierra 69gr TMK's. I shall not be fiddling anymore as I just don't see the point! My view is make and economical round that meets your accuracy requirements then just go shooting!! ATB Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
