blunderbust 4 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 i just bought a cz 455 17 hmr and was wandering which brand of bullet you find suits them best atb kev There isn't much difference between them mate, I have tried a few and always end up going back to the cheapest I can get. Currently I am getting Hornady 17gr blue tips at £9.95 a box of 50 and they seem to do the trick. Quote Link to post
TWOTWOTHREE 152 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 I must agree it didn't matter what brand I use they all give good groupings Quote Link to post
markha 99 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Hornady V-max give me sub 1" groups at 100m and sub 2" groups at 170m and would probably get tighter if I went to a lighter trigger pull, however the new trigger on the 455 is pretty good and on its lowest tension mine breaks at just under 2lb. My dealer doesnt have blue tips and never has and currently pay about £15 for 50 v-max red tip which is a bit on the steep side. Quote Link to post

markha 99 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Landy, I know all about the plastic tips and mach 2 etc, however I never said anything about paying more for red tips than blue, I said I have never seen blue tips as my dealer has never had them and I mentioned the price my dealer charges for v-max and not that I pay more for one or t'other mate Quote Link to post
moonlighter 1,165 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 I use the red tips, at £8.50 a box. I don't like the blue tips though. People say there the same but not through my rifle there not. Quote Link to post
