Hi Bob,
My records for what I loaded for the CZ-52 are apparently MIA. However, I never stray very far from published loads. Hornady does list loads for the 90gr. XTP with H110 showing the highest velocity at 1700fps (have to take back what I said earlier). Looking at what I have on hand, I would have likely used the H110, W296 or 2400. Also listed, are 800X, Blue Dot, HS-7, AA7, AA9, 2400, Viht N-110 and W296. Any of those powders of interest? I am traveling the next two weeks but I can probably scan the data I have and get it to you when I get back.
Cheers,
Hoot

Thanks Hoot but don't go out of your way and cause yourself heartburn or worry. I tried the 90 grain XTP and AA-7 today and it was wonderfully accurate but slow at around 1250 fps. I was using 8.3 grains and it shot to the point of aim at 25 yards. Didn't have near the muzzle blast that H-110 had and was more consistent in grouping. I am going to try somewhere around 12 grains of 2400 next time out.
The more I shoot the CZ the better it feels. But I am trying to figure out what it is good for. I will take it along when groundhog hunting as soon as I practice on small bottles out to a hundred yard. I am now hanging a tarp to the right of me at the range to stop the brass from going into orbit.

Yep, 'What is it good for?'

Fun to shoot. Good way to get rid of brass. 
Hornady shows:
AA7 8.7gr MAX for 1400fps.
2400 11.8gr MAX for 1500fps.
H110 14.2gr MAX for 1700fps(!).
COL 1.320" all out of a CZ-52.
I double-checked my typing but be careful anyway.
I played around with some Wolff springs and think I recall ending up with a stiffer spring rate so the brass is "only" about 30 feet away.
I'd be interested in hearing how it does on various varmints. I expect it'll work.
loaded up twenty more to test

Ten with 11.6 grains of 2400 and the 90 grain XTP and ten with the same bullet and 10.0 grains of AA-9.
I'll post results and pictures as soon as I can make it to the range.

I knew an Indiana State Trooper who had one stuck in the door pocket of his patrol car to use in case a bad guy walked up with body armor on!
I wanted to buy one when they were available and cheap. I borrowed one from my dealer and almost every round, my grip caused the safety to pop on! Decided it was probably not a good fit for me. Cool guns though and I can see a lot of fun doing some long range plinking with one!
