    Hornady TAP 60 grain are a good alternative, or even TAP 75 grain will run well in a CZ

    For the money Federal/american eagle are a great round in 50 grain, but past 200 start to dwindle.

    I was told Hornady shipment 2011 will be in the country in a week or two

    50gr American Eagle.

    53gr Hornady.

    75 gr Hornady.


    Steer clear of Remingtion UMC. She will not like them. Mine didn't.

    We ordered a load of Hornady 55grain V-max from Duffys in Galway, try him, he will courier it to your door free of charge when you buy in Bulk
