My 527 7.62 x39 carbine performed flawlessly this morning.   20 steps, the SST put the hammer down.

Thank you for the pictures!

Where I live, 7.62x39 is more expensive than .223 so I decided to go for the .223. I don't plan to hunt with it, I just want to learn a new skill: rifle shooting.

I don't hunt either but it looks like both the you and the carbine did the job flawlessly.

Deer was 18-20 steps, very slight angle to its left.  Bullet entered in front of right shoulder through the neck, lodged left in the left rib cage. Total destruction within chest cavity.

Guardian, how is that 527M in 223 shooting? I'm interested in purchasing the carbine in 223 and I'd like to hear your input on it's accuracy and performance.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this thread and your question.....the carbine in both calibers are really accurate, performance is exceptional as well.  The entire 527 platform was just done right.  Whether using the standard or set trigger option(s) I didn't have any issues...just a joy to shoot.  If I had to be really picky, the first mag or two were a little stiff chambering rounds but once those were cycled through the chambering action smoothed out nicely, but new bolt actions are....well, new so a little break-in isn't unheard of.  Not many open sight carbines on the market, and even if there were I'm not sure any would be better than this........hope this helps....if you have any specific questions just post them and I'll check back regularly to answer.

Guardian, thank you and happy new year. I have the carbine in 7.62 and it works great, but I've only ever shot steel case through it and it's very accurate with that. I just ordered a RCBS kit and was going to start reloading 223 and I was considering buying the carbine in 223 as well. Most people who buy the carbine usually go for the 7.62 version so there's not much info on the carbines performance in 223 that I have found. Once I get some time under my belt reloading 223 I'm going to try 7.62, I have 100 brass cases put away in the caliber. I enjoy shooting 223 as it's very low recoil and a very accurate round for my use. Thank you for your reply and info.

My 527 shoots the Hornady steel case SST's very well.

PPU ammo performed well also.

That wood is not the prettiest compared to the factory finish on mine but looks like it shoots just fine.Is that beech as opposed to Turkish walnut? I have shot several big bodied Alberta WT's with mine with 123gr Hornady SP/Privi brass ,Fed mag primer and 25 gr of H4198 cuts 1/2" or better at 100 yards with a 4X Leupold benched.Before the rant starts on primers,with standard LRP's the groups open to 1 " so I didn't argue with the gun.Dime sized group this AM hunting season opens Nov 1-30.I also load 150gr Sierra .311's for bigger stuff like bear+moose.Barnes makes a nice TSX 123gr that works well too at 25.5gr of H4198.Cheap as loading a .223 powder wise.90gr Lee cast Tokarev pistol bullet with a light dose of Bullseye for grouse.What's not to like?
