39 Sierras with RL-10x in 20 TAC lapua brass!

 

[HillbillyLongRifle]

40 BIB with RL-10x

 

[HillbillyLongRifle]

I also load 40 gr BIB in two of my 20 TACs with N-130 powder at 3715 fps out of a 22 inch barrel and 3780 fps out of a 26 inch barrel! These loads are easy on the Brass and produce wonderful groups in my rifles

Who makes the tripod you’re using? I’ve been wanting a setup like that

 

[Dan Hall]

If you ever need a shooting buddy I love shooting rock chucks. Used to go to southern Idaho. I also know a great place to shoot PDs in Montana. I’d be glad to show you, all private property. Won’t see another person all day long cept the owner.

I have two tripods. One tripod is a Warriors brand and their chief leveling head! Also have a Two Vets and ballhead tripod setup

I've really been wanting to try the 40 BIB bullet just never ordered any. Maybe it's time to add some of those to the bullet shelf...

Randy is still waiting on bullet jackets before he can make more of the 20 caliber 40 gr boattails! Been over 16 months now

Sounds like maybe I should get an order placed with him. I don't mind waiting for a good bullet.

I short chambered a .204 ruger to the same length as .223 and then shortened a .204 sizing die about .100” basically a practical with a 30degree shoulder angle.

Simple and effective, run .223 brass through your die and load. Allowed me to do a .20 cal that has cheap brass with the existing tooling I had. Probably didn’t have to but made a new gauge with 30 degree shoulder. This was a match reamer with tighter neck, standard saami .204 leaves about .002” neck clearance on loaded round
