[QUOTE="Charlie Brown Jr., post: 2933641, member: 86099"] 20- 221 fireball, gets about the same performance as a 20 practical, burning 10 gr less powder. A 40 gr .204 bullet drifts a lot less than a 40 gr. 223 bullet. I have 5- 20 Practical's, lots of 223 brass available makes it about the easiest cartridge to load thousands of rounds. 788 Remington's work great for re-barreling and the magazines work perfect and are very easy to reload. When one rifle gets hot, just set it in the shade and use another, gun till it's hot. Now you see why I have 5.
