20 Vartarg or 19 Badger

[Evan]

I hesitate to jump on the 19 because of the oddball size. Can you use a 20cal bronze brush? Can you use a 20cal cleaning rod?

I love my Vartarg and am not looking for anything else in this category of cartridges. It does everything I hoped it would.

The cleaning equipment for the 19 is the same as the 20cal. And I know the 20 Vartarg has a great following, my main thought is, having factory brass available along with available loaded ammo, (an advantage over the vartarg),19cal blitzking bullets from sierra, barrels from Benchmark and Pac Nor and yes I know Pac Nor had a fire, would make the Badger a very desirable wildcat, splitting hairs with the Vartarg in performance

A .19 caliber would be great if the .20’s didn’t already exist. IMO not enough component availability to justify a .006” difference in bullet diameter.
