Dumped my 20BR....rechambered to 20/222

[DogBuster]

Got barrel back from P-N....screwed together....action is Savage target...new barrel length is 25.5"...twist is still 9.... ;D
Barrel has approx. 1100 BR rds out..
Suitable powders I have....IMR8208..Benchmark....H4895...H4198...322
My bullet of choice is the Hornady 40 V max...Lapua brass & Rem 7.5
Any one care to share starting load data...or better yet a QL run ?
TIA !!

Just wondering... why did you rebarrel it to a 20-222...?

The 20BR just didn't trip my trigger.........

I also have a heavy 20 Vartarg & 20 Practical set up.....

Thought the 20/222 was right in the middle.........

DogBuster, Unable to give you a direct link to the post, but go to http://www.saubier.com/forum.html and use the search function to search for posts by forum member Fireball. The 7th. post down should be a 3/16/2010 post started by ab_bentley titled "20-222 Plain Jane". Quite a bit of 20-222 info in this post particularly posts by Fireball.

Had the time to test my powders......best...H322..problem..

Have less than 2#...2nd choice...H4895.....same prob...about 1#

Next..Benchmark....IMR8208 worked OK..just need to tweak loads

Groups ranged from .30" to .55" w/three @ 100....like I tell my

buddies..its not rocket science..we're just killin' p/dogs....
