Yep. Try right around 18.0 - 18.5grs of RL-7 along with the Nosler 32gr BTLF in your 20VT. We don't have to shoot lead-free in Oregon, but I laid in a bunch of the 32gr BTLF's when they were on sale at the Pro Shop. A bit longer than the regular BT's, so you'll have to adjust accordingly but they shoot very well in my Cooper M38 and launch Skippy with spectacular airiel displays. :wink:
