going to build another heavy barrel 20cal. just can't decide. What you say?
Then why not spin up one bbl in 20P and another in 20-222 and have both?
That was easy....good idea two is always better than one.
When I had my 20-222 built there were two things that determined my decision. First, I already had my fast twist 20-250 so I wanted something with smaller case capacity to shoot the 24-40gr bullets. Second, Lapua 222 brass was easily available back then.going to build another heavy barrel 20cal. just can't decide. What you say?
How about 20 BRI looked at doing a 20-221 when I had my 20-222 built but I was using a SA Rem 700 that used to be my 223 as the donor action and in Rem 700's, if it didn't come from the factory as something Fireball, that little Fireball case doesn't eject out of the action for sheet. Other actions may work better but anything with a 204 or 223 bolt in a Rem 700 requires extra work to make them run smooth with anything off the Fireball case so I opted to go 20-222 and any wildcats based off of the 222 or 223 case feed/extract/eject smooth as silk in just about any small bolt face action.

That isn't true in my case. I built a 20VT off of a Remington 700 ADL and it ejects perfectly. I cut the spring down so the empty falls on the table about 6" away.I looked at doing a 20-221 when I had my 20-222 built but I was using a SA Rem 700 that used to be my 223 as the donor action and in Rem 700's, if it didn't come from the factory as something Fireball, that little Fireball case doesn't eject out of the action for sheet.

Without question the coolest flyswatter you can ever own!Ha! Funny you should mention that. I was doing some load development one day and a fly landed on the target and I couldn't resist.
