I've heard of this ammo in the past, and have yet to try it. Does anyone here have experience with this round in the CZ-52? At $35/50rnds, I may just give this stuff a try this week. ".223 Timbs !!!!!!THESE LOADS ARE INTENDED ONLY FOR THE CZ-52 PISTOL!!!!!! The .223 Timbs is the result of a co-development between Quality Cartridge and Joseph Timbs. It is the American answer to the proprietary .224 BOZ, bringing the CZ-52 into the new millenium. The .223 Timbs is a special loading of the 7.62x25 round for use only in the CZ-52 pistol. It consists of a sabot like the Remington Accelerator© pushing a 50gr bullet over 2000fps. Concept was for devastating multi-purpose round, useable for small game, varmits, and defense. Accuracy has proven to be on-par with traditional rounds fired from the same pistol, and terminal ballistics are quite impressive with initial tests showing devastating expansion from the varmit-type bullets." .224 BOZ below

+1. Dosen't seem that the CZ's chamber is any stronger than a TT-33s. 50 grains at 2,000 FPS isn't impressive by my standards. You're already launching a 85 grain bullet at close to 1600, and it's a .309", not .224". Google for 7.62x25mm handloads. You can work it up hot as hell and not go over pressure. Folks are getting 1700 FPS with 90 grain Hornady XTPs. |
