Typical .223 rifle bore size?

Jboy · 11-21-2011, 07:41 PM

I have a new CZ 527 Carbine in .223 which I want to shoot cast bullets out of and am wondering if anyone knows the bore size (.223 or .224 ?) of the rifle or typical .223 rifle as I don't enjoy slugging bores.

Thanks in advance,

Actually I think I need the grove diameter and not the bore.

should be .224. You will want cast bullets sized .225 with gaschecks.

Thanks, the mold should drop them at .225.
