I shot about 50 rounds through my PO1 without any problem. Last week a friend who I think is pretty knowledgable told me that the +P+ rounds would do damaage. I tried to find info on the CZ site both US AND CZECH. I couldn't find any info there. I'd appreciate any input from the forum. Thanks ,Telebluz

Here's the dilemma: Is it 38,501 psi, 40,000 psi, or a complete gyp? Once the ammunition manufacturer is acknowledging that the ammunition exceeds recommended pressure standards, you really have no idea what you are buying. If you insist on shooting +P+, stick with the 127 gr Winchester Ranger, which at least has some track record. Mr. Mirek Topolánek, the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, presents U.S. President George W. Bush with a CZ 550 rifle made by Česká zbrojovka a.s., Uherský Brod. The rifle was hand engraved and chambered in .308 Winchester.
