May well be worth some internet knowledgeable soul to see what works when doing a search or what a search engine sorts out.

I would think either sub caliber or small caliber something or other may draw more views. If you include “varmint” in the title would not hurt anything.

Spread sheets? Yes there were some spread sheets set up several ways. I have looked all across the forum, the links no longer work in this thread. They were set up as most popular powders, average grains, bullets a lot of handy info and data compiled from many before I joined up here. It narrowed d...

Is there anyway to get to the spread sheets? I thought I had them in a file and couldn’t find them. Came back here and the Kiel and share won’t share.

Anyone used any in 204 Ruger, 20 Practical or 20 Vartarg?

I have looked at their data.
Just wondering about hands on use.

Thanks
Jeff

From what I see you have about everything covered on a 223 parent case. You have a 204 so I see little +or- in a 20P.
Go to a 22 or 20 BR. Either will give returns over a 223 case without pushing pressures.

3500 rounds in that amount of time I would have blisters on my fingers from loading magazines.
Any idea of hit ratio.
Ammo and components as high as they are, I am more hesitant to “throw” one in the general direction.

I responded to an email from a Joe C if that is you.

He is looking for 204 Ruger brass and bullets. He has the following Nosler 22 Hornet Brass, new virgin 17 caliber Vmax, 25 and 20 grain Barnes 22 Hornet bullets RCBS 17 Hornady Hornet dies As mentioned he wants to do some trading for 204 Ruger supplies. Email me and I will put you in phone contact w...

Has anyone seen pressure tested loads on 20VT? I did a little work with my 17 Remington, ladder work of sorts. One target, 2/10 increments, too max. In theory there should be a nice cluster of several loads. My ladder/ramp stuck 12–15 bullets into .25x.6?@100. It was a waste for me other than my chr...

Dunno what part of the world ya hale from. If I work up loads in the winter/fall and cooler temps, that is when they get used. I had a lot of time available one fall and worked up a few dog loads. That didn’t work out well in late spring. A royal PITA keeping ammo on ice in a cooler to get rid of it...

I FL size all my virgin brass, no matter who made it. Why? Because a number of years ago I traveled to a match a fair distance and had ammo that would not chamber due to a case size issue, because I had not FL sized it. Will NEVER happen again. I use a FL bushing die on a lot of mine any more. I bum...

“Talkers never do and doers never talk.“

Taken from your above quote, ya ever think maybe………

Appreciate the thought Bill, I have googled with no luck on the heavies. And, I well know Sierra,Nosler, Berger, Hornady, etc for run of the mill up to a 40.

Blackhole, Unmussig, Hammer, BIB only 40 grain. I know there are a few more, lost all my info.
Jeff

Is there a list of current 20 caliber bullet makers any where?
I am building a 20BR and looking for some 50+ grain bullets.
TIA
Jeff

Looking around about a 1-9” barrel for a 20BR build.
