Pet loads for my rifle;
(Hornady cases, CCI 400 primers)

20 grn V-Max (moly coated) 9.3 grns IMR 4227 (3,175 FPS) low-power load for mowing down squirrels

20 grn V-Max (moly coated) 11.5 grns H4198 (3,389 FPS) low-medium power load

25 Berger (moly coated), 10.8 H4198 (3,136 FPS) my coyote load

These are what I shoot as they have tested to be the most accurate in my rifle and provide extraordinary brass life. For the 15.5 NTX, 12.1 to 12.4 grns CFE BLK
 
CFE BLK is also my best load. I use either CCI 400 or Rem 7.5 primers, and 12.6 grains give me average 3650 fps with 20 grain V-max bullets. Below were my last 4 targets to verify the load was final for me, and that's with a stock CZ 527 Varmint weight barrel.

Did okay with 12.0 grains of AA1680 as well, but not as good, 3575 fps with 20 Vmax
