Does it hurt a controlled round feed gun, (Mauser action), to shoot it single shot by placing a round into the chamber, then close the bolt and fire? I've heard both, it is and it isn't. When I'm at the range I've fired both my Ruger and my CZ 527 this way and haven't experienced any problems, but I don't know if I should be doing this. With the CZ it's kind of a pain to put a round in the magazine, then let the bolt strip it off into the chamber because it takes a lot of force, and it scratches the cases badly. I have 3 magazines for this gun and all have this problem. I've heard it's pretty widespread with this model and caliber of CZ, (.223). What do you guys think? Bill T.
