dannywayoflife Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Can the 40 grain vmax's be loaded to mag length in a cz 527 mag? As they have a much better bc than the 35's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir-slots-alot Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 No , if you seat the 40 grn Vmax to fit inside the CZ mag - you will lose alot of case capacity and therefore velocity. you can alter the mag so it will take longer bullets --- or single feed them Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannywayoflife Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hi Alan thanks for the reply. How can I alter the mag to be able to get them yo feed from it? Thanks Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir-slots-alot Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hi Alan thanks for the reply. How can I alter the mag to be able to get them yo feed from it? Thanks Danny Dan. Never did the conversion myself - but it looked reasonably easy. somebody sent me details on how to do it , when I asked the question. Maybe one of the more technically minded members could help ATB Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try using it as a single shot if the 40 grain suit you. Another bullet with a better BC than the 35 grain is the Midway Dogtown 34 grain. It will fit in the magazine nicely. The 45 grain "Hornet" bullets available from Sierra/Speer have a very high BC and will work with out alteration as well.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannywayoflife Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hay Andrew thanks. So I would just need to replace the internals of a hornet mag with those of a 221fb? Also what's the bc of the dog town bullets? Thanks Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Rws TMS 46 grn will work needs no mag alterations and very much better BC. The exposed lead tip is actually cut / trimmed flat and square wich reduces the o/a length. Although i am still quite new to the calibre myself if you run the balistic comparisoms most of the 45's and the like are the better choice on downrange balistics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Nice thanks Andrew! Appreciate it Your welcome. Also note that the "zero" is 175 yards. I sight in 1.5" high at 100 so that a prairiedog laying on his belly need only to be set atop the horizontal cross-hair to score a perfect hit. I was gratified to find that my dead-on hold is 175 yards, plus or minus. This verifies the BC calculations and the ballistic program nicely, I think.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannywayoflife Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Niceone! I'll get me some dog towns then! Andrew could I trouble you for a step by step run through of your reloading process and what kit you use as I'm about to start and want to get some Propper Gen info from a fellow hornet man.
