If you are looking to get top tier performance (velocity) from the 357 and 454 but standard performance (target loads) for the 38 and 45 colt you'll be wanting at least 2 different powders.

It's what I shoot in my hornet
:tup: 3,250 fps w/40 gr V-max out of my CZ American & sub half minute groups.

Do you have issues with coal length in the Cz? I've heard you can't use the 40 grain vmax in clip fed rifles because the bullets too long? I'm running them as well but I shot a single shot.
Not since I exchanged my magazine & ~$40 bucks for one of James Calhoon's modified magazines. By the way, his single shot adapter is the bomb too. http://jamescalhoon.com/
You need to load the bullets out as close to the rifling to get the accuracy. It was that way in mine and the other half-dozen I have helped others with.

What kind of locking lugs does the CZ have. Is it the two lug Model 70 style or the rimfire type locking lugs. My Model 43 Winchester and my Kimbers have the rimfire lug style.

Two up front. I can absolutely guarantee that I am getting 3,250 fps - I have a couple Oehlers

Win 296 gives high velocities also. I chronied over 3000 fps out of my K Hornet before I figured I was potentially stressing the Kimber locking lugs.

Since this was thread jacked by the CZ guys, I'll add mine as well. I have them in .22, .223, 6.5X55 and 9.3X62 the last 3 are full stocked.
