20 Practical Advice

[willyp19]

Anyone have any load data for a 20 Practical and 39gr Blitzking with a 24" barrel and 1 - 11 twist?

 

[IA_shooter]

My 20 Practical only has a 20" 1-10 twist barrel but I use 24.2gr of H322 but I have used 25.6gr of H335 in the past for it with great results.

Of course I'd tell you to start lower than anything I use and work up from there.

H-4198. Works well in my 11 twist pacnor and 40gr. Nosler BT. L.C. brass

8208 is really hard to beat

I use H4895, very accurate with high velocity.

Used to use 25gr of Benchmark. Also ran 23.7 of RL10x. Both shot very well. 39gr sierra jumped 40 thou, remington cases and rem 7.5 primers. Barrel was a 1:11 or 1:12 lothar walther 24 inches.

If it works in a 223......it will work in the 20 PT

H4895 in mine...40 V's..or Benchmark..or 8208

In a 24" Hart bbl A/R, 1-11" tw, I run Lt-32 powder with Lake City cases and Federal A/R Match primers for bitty bug holes. This powder runs better with the 39BK's than H4198, 8208, H322 and others in this barrel.

For bare 39g-40g start at about 26.0g H335. You'll have room to go up.
