If you're loading so hot that it would matter, I would expect your brass is probably coming apart with every shot anyway

I understand that, and as noted, my initial interest was in the 1:8 twist and 82g...or 'there-abouts'...the rifle will choose what it likes...if that's not maximum, i can work with what it likes best, or will 'limit' me to loading...it is what it is, and i will be happy with any limits it presents.
Is the controlled feed a main reason why you want the 527?
Gwion wrote:You will be fine to single feed for target and load to any length you like. Maybe you can get your smith to enlarge the feed port to accomodate AI max mag length. Only concern is if that will compromise the rigidity of the action but it shouldn't require too much material removal.
Still, I'd email Montana and see what the cost on a 223 bolt face would be.

All details of my build are in that linkedthread. Cash and supplier issues have the project stalled for the last while.
The Zastava is rather rough build and the internal mag is very short.

With Thanks

..i posted a response but it didn't show. Yeah i know it's for the rimmy's, but at least there is an association there with CZ, and their blurb reveals they are adding different platforms in the future...
I'm happy enough to keep shooting the Zasty as a 223rem for the time being. It got me into 3rd for our ANZAC shoot and convincingly achieved tightest group for the day (10 rounds, single feed, within 2 mins at 300yds). Still, I am looking forward to some spare cash to finish the 223mcshort. Also trying to save for a GRS stock for my 7mm08.

I will leave this open in case future options become available.
Now i just need to find a new home for my .300RUM + Ammo......
Any takers?
Cheers

Have you tried a GRS Stock? The Grip is at a bit of an angle. It didn't bother me but a lot of people either or love them or hate them. I gave them a miss on the model I was looking at for other fitment reasons. A Stock can get really personal
