VT vs 20 Duster

[TAJ45]

I am wanting to simplify things and reduce "chambering overlap". Squirrels and pdogs are end use.
I have goodly amounts of quality 222 & 223 brass, no 221.
Both reamers and .20 bbls, 11tw or faster, are on hand and the Pbike257 dies to push shoulders back 30° and reduce necks to .204
Which is easiest to form?
What are the pros/cons of these two in general?
I did buy the Terrific Twenties" which had a couple three articles on the VT but none on the Duster......wonder why?
Like I say, trying to simplify a bit.

Both cartridges are great for all day pd shooting.The 20VT is easy all you need is 221 brass,it has a 30 degree shoulder and is a snap to form with good velocities.As we all know Todd Kindler did a great job on it.
You say you have lots of 222and 223 brass,well my friend Dan Clements designed and built the first 20 Duster,it has a 40 degree shoulder and it uses 222 cases to start with while it has a bit more horsepower than the VT
it does require custom dies.I think the reason you don't find more info on it is because only a few of us from Saubier.com have built them.Perhaps a straight 20-222 would be more to your liking,you have the brass and forming and reloading would be much easier.My Duster is a full custom by Greg Tannel that uses a BAT SV #8 as a matter of fact and it is a pure joy to shoot,I'm sure It would be just as fun if it was a 20-222 or a 20VT.Whatever you decide to build enjoy

Made me look up the '20 Duster'......link below......

Have a high mileage Vartarg......luv it !!!!! since 2007.....12 twist

Also a 20-222.....9 twist.....both use 40 V max (Practical too)

Either of these are all day shooters.....little recoil....sooooo pleasant.....

19 grs with the Vartarg....23 with the 20-222....both H322....

Between the two......my fav would be the 20-222.....Lapua brass..either way

Flip a coin......both are superb p/doggers......
