[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2651586, member: 8394"] Had sworn off reloading sub 223, until last winter when I bought a 204 and then subsequently a 17 hornet. It had been about a decade since I'd had a 204 and forgot how much fun spotting shots is, but also how much little bullets move in the wind. Had the opportunity last spring to let a few fly in a .20-250 loaded with a boutique 48/49 grain pill (boutique brand I can't remember) and was impressed with what it did on a windy beach. This spring were doing our big Squirrel safari again, and given component availability and prices it may be time to retire the 7 rum. Last retumbo I saw up here was 63$ limit 1 pound... takes the fun out of that. I'd like something that could go 4-500 yards and buck the wind, initially thought 6mm but don't currently have an unused action for a donor I'd like. I have a donor action setup that would be a perfect fit for a 20-250, found an on the shelf barrel with suitable twist and could pull it off before March. Question is for those that have them. -in a 9 lbd base rifle will you be able to spot shots with the 55 bergers? -would you build one now given bergers spotty track record of consistent 55g production. (Although it looks like I could buy enough to shoot out a barrel) -not shy of consuming barrels but is this a 7-900 round cartridge or will I be over/under? -2 of my last 5 customs didn't shoot the bullet they were built for, is the .20-250 worth it if the 55 doesn't work? Any other quirks I should know about before giving it a go? [/QUOTE]
