The HM2 leaves the barrel smoking at 2100 fps...still cranking at 1530fps at 100 yds and 1134fps at 200 yds. Accuracy is outstanding....cracked cranium factor off of the chart...lol  |

$115 per brick shipped..since I only use it to hunt with and not target shoot they last me a long time.

Hate to be the nay-sayer. That was and is the worst round/chambering I ever owned. Bullets almost never open up and the wind drift is horrible. Only upshot was I bought several cases of eley ammo at 99$ a case and sold them for about 350% mark up when they quit making it. The gun shot well. Perhaps 1.5" at 100 when very calm.
That round has a following that I do not understand but I would never own one again.

Sorry it did not live up to your expectations....It is a jacked up .22 round....nothing more..a light 17 grn bullet is going to drift like crazy in the open and its certainly not a 100 yard round nor will it ever be. IMO...its a dedicated squirrel eradicator.50-60 yds max. for me. The 17 grn vmax has never failed to open for me. Very destructive on squirrel heads. I shoot a CZ HM2 Varmint and it is insanely accurate out of this rifle. I will be owning a sporter in this caliber as soon as I can locate another CZ.Following is the first 50 yd group shot out of this rifle...I didn't get into this rifle with any false expectations and it has not disappointed!  |

I have a cz in mach 2,it will shoot accurately @ 100yds. it will hang with the 17hmr & 22lr as we have used all those in rim fire competition's@75yds here throughout the years.
squirrel's I have shot in the head were completely destroyed-looked like hank's head shots on deer w/ mz. 
one brick of mach 2 was good on accuracy but another lot shot much better in eley.
have used the mach 2 to help train some newbies on wind holds @ 100yds-great trainer rifle in that regard. jmho |

I have heard stories of less then stellar accuracy out of non CZ rifles.With tighter bores the CZs usually shine head and shoulders above the rest of field. I have ran 3 types of ammo thru mine. They all shot very well with the Hornady edging them out. After I shot the above group I shot the tacks out holding the target up...no complaints here..not trying to start a pissing match here just relating my positive experiences with this round.
