Cz 457 mtr eley match, center x, sk pistol match, sk rifle match

Is that your new factory barrel back from CZ? Looks like a huge improvement. We've had 25- 40 mph winds so haven't been able to wrong mine out.
 
Take some advice from a professional benchrest ammo chaser. STOP, do not pass GO, do not collect your $200, DO get as much of that ELEY as you can find.
2 bricks is all i could grab. But at least i have something to play with now. This is all shot off a bipod. Picked up a old hart rest might need to try that out next.
 
My MTR prefers SK Biathalon, SK Rifle Match & Lapua Center-X. It did not shoot the Eley Match I have nearly as well. It is all about what your particular rifle likes.
Yeah hopefully it shoots centerx and the sk i picked up. I am not liking how much the eley gums up the action, bolt face and chamber after 20 rounds. Seems excessive. 20210513_132512.jpgScreenshot_20210515-073950_Gallery.jpg
 
Well, that's certainly discouraging to see, and after only 20 rounds. Before loading those, do you think it might help to wipe off some of that excess lube on the bullets?
Just asking, as I have some Eley 10X I want to try in my new CZ 457 MTR after I get caught up with some things here.

Im sure you could wipe some off. Whats weird is how much is plastered all over the bolt face and on the firing pin. There does not seem to be that much lube on the cases. Maybe the case is scraping lube off the rounds under each other when loading from a magazine. I actually started having headspace issues with trying to close the bolt. For now i will test out the lapua and sk pistol match ammo tomorrow ,see how that shoots its lube is more oil like . I really dont want to wipe off the expensive 14 bucks a box lube on the eley match. I will post the center x and sk pistol match targets tomorrow.
 
That 10x is defective and dangerous ,send it all to me. I will depose of it all out of my rifle for no charge

I shot a match this afternoon with my MTR. I shot Center X at ARA Factory targets. We shoot 2 targets and my score was 4735. Best I’ve shot yet. Now I wish I could do that with my 2500XS.
Looking forward to trying center x tomorrow i will shoot a ARA factory target also

ARA scores with 10's in them always throw me. Guy once shot ARA Unlimited target 2410. Now that's hard to do.
 
I have a new MTR that I haven’t shot yet. If it shoots as well as my 452 American I will be thrilled. I have all of the ammo types to try, but I’m going to put a few hundred rounds of CCI or Blazer through it first. If it shoots Eley Match as well as the OP’s rifle that would be fantastic. My other CZ’s tend to prefer Lapua and SK Ammo.
