That's a nice setup and great calibre, been tempted myself, but I own the 17 now and am not disappointed

Sorry Guys , did not have the camera with me ? , so a pic of the ammo closet to it .
load is simple , 13.0gr Lil'gun , cci pistol primer , with light crimp , using lee crimp die , chronied at 3000fps over a 35P , and thats with the barrel cut down to 20 inches , std CZ527 has 22 inche tube .
Only downside to this ammo , is it will not feed from the mag .
Ammo box is MTM 223 cal .
Knocked over a few pigeons last night and even managed to recover a projectile.

Daisy hunter?

Pretty much. Cheap locally made stuff that I've seen all sorts of names on (Daisy, Winchester, Kilwell, Gun City, Outdoor Outfitters, ....). That one went through the neck on about 30% power from about 10m at a guess (The one from the big packing shed @MassiveAttack). Can see bits of bone lodged in it and the top half is cleaved nicely.Quote:

I calculate I would have fired over 400,000 of those in my formative years @2 or more packets of 500 a week...When I got a higher powered air rifle I found the wadcutters were more emphatic killers on birds they seemed to knock them off the branch/gutter where as the pointy daisy hunters sailed threw bird took flight went ten yards then nose dived.Quote:

One little snotter got away, made his break after I arsed over a fence! Got a lovely laceration to the back of my knee! Just as well I've got long legs to take the pressure and stop the top wire cutting thru the knee!:O_O: I

Go the 7.62x39!
Ouch!.... nice effort though Maca...some nice eating there...
Got three nice half bodies off the youngsters for my old mate in TePuke. Tried the wind up out there arse, gutting trick! Managed to insert the lot into one leg skin, arse stayed intact? Didn't have a knife so ripped the skin from the projectile damage, broke the spine and twisted the damaged rib cage off with the front legs!Quote:
