.22 LRGUY, have you tried that segmenter insert for the Waltz die yet?
I've made some up, but haven't shot them yet. My CZ (that loves CCI Blazer) is living out in SW Alberta...so when I reunite with her this spring...I'll run some through, and report on the results!![]()
After saying for years, that at this point in life, my CZ 452 varmint 22 lr was the only one I needed/wanted, A Remington 541 S appeared in October. My 2018 goal is to decide which one stays and which one leaves........Assuming that they will both shoot about equal, which would you guys keep?

These are working farms/ranches too...and in spite of what the hell-raisers will tell you, the land owners out there do prefer you use rimfires.
Seriously, you have been out west like two times shooting gophers and you are now an authority on what the majority of land owners prefer you to shoot gophers with(one ranch)? My god, them hell-raising centre-fire heathensFYI for any other armchair quarterbacks - The ranches out here are so f-ing huge there is room to shoot .50 BMG at gophers and no-one would blink an eye. After 10+ years here I have yet to hear a rancher say, “please, I prefer you to bounce thousands of rounds of low velocity .22rim lead all over my ranch”.
The “normal” wind conditions here can be unreal, nothing like Ontario shooting conditions. I have seen my 17HMR shoot 12+” of wind in crosswind gusts @ 75 metres. If you want to shoot/hit at any distance other than an stones throw/shotgun/.22 rim range, you need to go centre fire. Take advantage of the wide open spaces, you are not in Ontario anymore.
If short range, low hit percentage cost savings(?) is what you are after, also try a slingshot(or throw rocks), the ranchers prefer that I hear
The areas I “actually hunt" I can easily see for many, many kilometres in all directions(foothills and prairies). .22 rim is not an option for a pest control vacation.
HOHOHO - hell-raiser![]()
Which model of CZ?

Centerfire is fun, but when you can kill hundreds a day it gets pretty damn expensive and time consuming (at the reloading bench).
All the rimfires and centerfires have their place. All get used.

I would keep both, but if you can only keep one, it should be that 541S. Eagleye.
That 541S looks amazingly like one I used to own. Did you buy it from a BC resident? If so, it is a very accurate 22, and has made the 50M challenge on here.
