55 bergers in 204

[anrew]

I want to try the 55 bergers. I know they make a 1-9 twist can you get a 1-8 twist if so who makes it. How well does it shoot, what kind of speed you getting?

Douglas or benchmark can make you an 8tw. Never shot the 55's on 204 or 20tac. The 55 berger shoots great in 20-250, 20br and 20x47L.

I had full intentions of shooting some custom 20 cal, 62gr vlds which requires and 8tw. Finally decided that the 55 bergers are always available and they shoot good.

Pac-nor makes an excellent 20 cal barrel as well

My Pac Nor 9 twist 3 groove 20BR runs 55s just fine..along with 40 V max as well...its 28" long...have not clocked either one just yet...

my 20 ppc on a douglas 9twist shoots well in all temps with the Berger 55. Seems to be a good combo from what I have experienced. I run them over 3500 with out working them,... and they are scary at 600.
