Same here as Sherm. I see some familiar names here too.
Saubier has been going down hill for a number of years. As others have said good info here with many of the same people. I don't understand why more guys don't get into the small cal stuff, they are missing out

I’m here- what more ya need???
Lots of good info here- just gotta search for it… umm - maybe text a fella or 2… I been looking/ thinking of another 20 cal myself.
Since then I formed some 20BRAI brass recently for a good buddy/ member here..using 32,39,40 gr bullets.. target set at 200yds- got a bunch of .1’s & .2’s groups…. Now I think I just need to change bullets to have a different rifle..
Just rambling…

Right here brother! Tons of 20 cal experience on this site. Collectively we should be able to help you out with whatever you need. We love our 20s!

It occurs to me that I've never heard of anyone having a twenty cal disaster. Hmmmmm. Considering the lack of published 20 cal data, that's almost incredible, or maybe we twentyophyles are uncommonly astute when it comes to load development.

Varminter.com had a nice forum at one time too, but it hasn't been up awhile. At one time Eric said it would come back,time will tell. This forum has such a wealth of knowledge that there's really no reason to go elsewhere. All we need now is for Hornady to introduce a 20ARC with a 50 ELD-VT.Maybe a gun manufacturer will get onboard with a fast twist barreled gun and then the brakes would be off in the 20 caliber world.

I was here before I was there.
Yeah I lost a fair bit of info at Saubiers too. Saubiers was the proverbial rabbit hole, I would end up there on a search, in a few minutes I was off track, completely forgetting what it was I was looking for.
Another HUGE site we lost years ago wasn’t it shooters.com? Been so long I forget now, but I burned a lot of midnight oil reading there. Here one day, gone the next.

I think we need to define DISASTER better, here's my definition. the gun went boom, instead of bang.It occurs to me that I've never heard of anyone having a twenty cal disaster. Hmmmmm.

I had one Boom back when the 204 Ruger first came into being. Was testing unlisted powders and got a little too ambitious venturing up over 4,000 fps with Sierra 39gr BKs. The 4th bullet in a 5 shot group flew apart in the bore and all hell broke loose! Blew my 700 bolt face apart and the shrapnel came out of the muzzle in a shotgun pattern destroying the optical chronograph I was shooting thru. But at least I know where absolute max pressure is located! Lol!

OK, I think we would all call that a disaster.
Let's say that if the gun is incapable of another shot --- Or if the shooter or bystanders are injured -- you may have a disaster. jdchuckshooter

I like that, except a stuck case doesn't qualify. because once you get it out, the gun should still be able shoot.OK, I think we would all call that a disaster.
I am a private pilot, we used to say, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. I had to change that to, any landing you can walk away from and the plane still can fly, is a good landing. I'd rather not say why we had to change that statement.

Yeah it was done fer! Luckily I didn’t get injured. Was able to save the bolt face on the operating table with a new bushing and Sako extractor, so the only casualty was my chronograph. May she forever rest in peace. LolOK, I think we would all call that a disaster.
