Does anyone have a load for the 20 BR using the 32 grain Nosler BT bullet? Mine isn't shooting all that well with the 39-40 grain bullets, thought I would try the 32 grainers. It's really hard trying to find a good load this year, you have to use what you have on hand or what you may find at the local gun shop. Anyone have anything to offer?

For what it's worth, I am loving Reloader 15. However, I am shooting 55 grain Bergers in my 20BR. But if you have some, I would definitely give it try, even with the lighter bullets.

You bet....
With my Remington 700 SA, Lilja 25.5' 1-9tw, at an elevation of 4900 feet and 90 degree temps, I am using 30.5 grains of Reloader 15 with the 55 grainers. I tried the 50's but the 55's shot just as well, so no more 50's for me.
My bolt lift and primers are telling me that I'm at the upper limit,That load will be fine in cooler temps). But I would think you could very safely start at 29.5 grains and work up.
I am getting 3600 fps with that load, and I love those 55 grain VLD's!! The 55 VLD's make it one flat shooting SOB.
I was shooting 1000 yard groups with my 7WSM the other day, when I decided to try the 20BR at that distance, and it showed some promising groups...I didn't get real serious about it but I think I will and see what she'll do.
