[QUOTE="robbobsam, post: 561103, member: 25432"] I am currently researching the 20BR with the intention of having a custom single shot rifle built. On paper it has very impressive ballistics with the high BC long range 55 grain Berger varmint bullet. However, me being the eternal cynic I am not inclined to believe everything I read and would like to hear from anyone with experience in this caliber using this bullet. Alternatively I was thinking of going down the TAC20 route with the same bullet. The ballistic performance of the 2 calibers with the 55 grain Berger long range varmint can be seen below compared to the .223rem using the 55 grain Sierra Blitzkings. [img]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a358/robertsmith141/1-3.jpg[/img] When you compare the 20BR and TAC20 to the 223Rem they both outperform it by a long way at extended ranges on paper. What first hand experiences do you have with this bullet in these calibers. I want to use this rifle for 200-600yds varminting. Another issue I would like to hear your views on is the recoil from a 20BR compared to the 223Rem. I have down sized from the .243win to .223Rem for varminting and I enjoy watch the hits though the scope which I was unable to do with the .243win. Do you get much more recoil with the .20BR over the .223Rem and would I still get to to see the hits through the scope? [/QUOTE]
