Use .20 Tactical data to start and work up from there. I use imr4198 or BLC-2 in my .20P. Some say subtract 2 grains from .204R data, most of my loads worked out very close to that, but using .20 Tac data I feel is safer.

Keep Googling!! My .20 Practical should be ready in about 2 months. I have spent various hours chasing all posts in different forums and presently have about 15 loads to choose from. It appears from my "chasing" that H-335, 8208, H-4198, Benchmark and H-4895 are what most shooters are using. That pretty much narrows it down huh? LOL.
AR, from what I've been reading it seems the .20 practical shoots well with just about any powder ..It will be hard to narrow things down I'm sure...
I'm going to try
H-335
IMR 8208 xbr
And H-4198
Stopping there. I have a bad habit of constantly changing powders and looking for one magical load. I find by doing this I never really finish my load development.
I'm trying to stop some bad reloading practice ( in my opinion) and follow through.
After all I reload because I like to find the best possible load for a given rifle.

I'm with you on one powder. For an AR 20, I've settled on VV 133 because it's consistent and clean.

133 and imr4198 have both proven accurate and fast in my .20P AR with 32gr. BLC2 is what I use for 39gr.
28 gr of 223CFE with 39gr sierra BK
Cool stuff!! Thanks guys..When I posted question I was sitting at reloading bench..I ended up using 204 Ruger data and subtracting 2gr. As a start load and went up in .5gr incriminates
Now I have three loads worked up
8208 xbr
H-335
And H-4198
This should let me know the high pressure threshold in my rifle, and what powder my rifle likes best..
Thanks
I will post results in a week or so as that is when I can get out and shoot next
