Yep, that’s the one I recalled.

Velocity is sexy, eats barrels, upsets bullets and like vanity, last a short time, whereas drag coefficient lasts, like diamonds, forever(until impact at least).
The ideal is good velocity, high BC/drag coefficient, and a good barrel.
Oh, and an “Indian” who knows how to use his “arrow”.
Of course, if you’re shooting DU Penetrators from a 120m smoothbore, at heavy armor, then you have it all!

I think they used the same bullet as the .223 and were available in several .30 cal. cartridges.
Mine actually shot very well.

2,400 fps if I recall.
plain surplus romanian 7.62x25 would do 1,640 fps.

I read an article many years ago in the American Rifleman about some hot East Bloc ammo they tried in those CZ’s.
Hot as Hell and probably dangerous in other pistols.

I still have a CZ-52. All I have is old Russian corrosive ammo intended for the Tokarev. It is pretty hot too tho not like the really hot stuff.

The CZ 52 is the only gun I have ever seen that is not just finished better, but way better on the inside than out.

Yeah, the outside is pretty rough.
I had one very pretty blued one, walnut grips.

I happily snubbed th Winchester Super Short Magnum fad. As for the others, shooting 20-30 grain bullets isn’t going to work well in the wind regardless of velocity.

I’ve got a Savage 250-3000 Model 99 takedown.
Prettiest gun I have.
It’s a hundred years old.
It’s loud — there’s always a “what was that” pause the first time I shoot it at a range.
