New Howa mini build 20 Grendel

If you get the 20BRAI & 55gr Berger down to 3300fps- you’ll get soot clean back to the rim of the case- on the verge of a disaster-
You get the 55gr in a 20ppc case to 3300- it’s a warm load..sure the ppcAI would tote it on up some..to 3600 or so....???

I’d only choose the 1-8” for the VT case .. for lobbing the 55grs… Evan had a 6 page thread on it- search function works-


Earlier searching-2010-2005- shows the 1-8 in 20BR had some 55gr bullet failure -…
 
Nice shooting. Which Arken EPL is that? How do you like it so far. I have a Howa mini in 6.5 G and like it a lot. It wears a Krieger barrel and shoots phenomenal also. Now you got me interested in this wildcat.
Thanks. Epl4 4-16x44. I love it, not much more recoil than a 22.
 
Heres the reamer is used. The PTG 20 Grendel reamer has a slighty smaller neck at .2330 vs .234 (titan) for Lapua brass. Been waiting for the Alpha 22 Arc brass to cone out to see how it turns out when necked down.

Reamer has been ordered and is setup for the 55gr bergers at 2.200 oal and 6.5 lapua brass necked down. No neck turning required. Was waiting for Alpha to release brass to check beck thickness but decided to order one.
 
Good Shot!
How fast was that round going?
I had to slow down the playback speed to 0.25X to see where the crosshair was when the shot broke. Where did it hit? Was that in the head, neck, shoulder?

I missed a little forward. Should be some chrono data above this post.
 
Haven't tested them yet. I will probably have to slow them down so they don't blow up.
Nice rifle rifle man. I was curious because i shot them for years in 204R and man they really pop crows. They look “tender” lol probably one of the most explosive ive found besides sierra BK, although not as accurate.
