Ha, did not know about those Blade - probably shoulda asked you blokes before spending that money certainly would have solved my problem with a lot less fuss

Firstly....your cz527 in 7.62x39 WILL SHOOT .308 PROJECTILES JUST FINE.....mine does.....
Secondly.....buy anything but a cz527 in 7.62x39...it just wont feed properly....get a Howa or Ruger in 7.62x39....and shoot Hornady steel case sst....they're only 90 cents a round....it aint worth reloading...

At this point, I'm going to say the little RARR-300aac is a true one-minute gun. The cartridge is certainly a lot finickier than say a 223, but using the collet die, it's a superb handloader's cartridge. Neck tension with this cartridge seems particularly pertinent. The 300aac is economical, low recoiling, has excellent case life and runs cool.

My RARR shot 1.125” with the 125Gn TNT’s @ 100M using 5.5Gns of TB and Federal BR primers. 14.9Gns of 296 behind 165Gn Ballistic Tips got me 24mm and 1770FPS. So you’re right on the money with the MOA thing. I hadn’t bothered to set up the chrony for the TNT load, but an identical load with the 130Gn varmints showed 980FPS.
Whether I record imperial or metric seems to revolve around whether I remember to take the calliper with me!!
Does anybody else have feeding issues with the Lucky 13 mags?? I realise the combo is still quite new/bedding in ... but I have yet to have a single 10 rounds go through without a problem of some darned type ...

Accuracy? plenty accurate for all but the nuts who need to put 10 rounds into a 5 cent piece at 200 meters. The Ruger by the way with its 16" barrel is amazingly accurate for such a "fad" cartridge and low cost rifle.

Except the .350 Legend, although it is an excuse to get another Ruger American

Just like the Mardi Gra, the 300 BK also has its place, you keep convincing yourself mate
