You are looking at a 120gn Bullet doing 2,700 fps giving 1900 ft lbs of energy, so it meets all the deer legal requirements. And it fits into the mini CZ and other micro length actions. Now the 6.5 bullets have a good reputation for working well on most deer and the little CZ American - or a nice custom built rifle of similar proportions fitted with a sleek Z3 3-9x36 scope would I think be a really nice little smaller deer rifle for walking around with - on a par with a 243 in terms of energy, but a bit bigger and bit slower bullet, so less mess methinks.

CZs are a fairly straight feed into the chamber. Won't be a problem. The Grendel is neat but what caught my eye was the suppressor ready American synthetic in 300AAC. I could live with one of those.....~MuirLooks interesting. I wonder how that sharp shouldered rtound will feed though?

Got all excited about this but just looked at some actual load data rather than a wiki link, both Viht and hodgdon top out at 2400-2450 for a 120 gr bullet so with this weight, and heavier you'll be struggling or loading very hot to be legal for anything in England other than small dee, Which I can already do with my .223. You might just squeak it with 100 gr bullet but possibly a bit close for comfort
Check that......
I reconsidered and ordered a 7.62x39 instead. I have a 300 AAC I like now.~Muir
Thanks Amigo. I already have the 527 Carbine in 7.62x39 and love it. It is a one holer with handloads and has exceptional wood.Mate of mine has the 7.62 CZ527 and is chuffed with it. Happy shooting Muir!
