[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 923427, member: 25383"] the .204 Ruger doesn't need a barrel any longer than 24" when you look at the case volume. Even a 22" barrel is going to do just fine. I've seen a couple Mod. 12 Savages shoot low .20" five shot groups so often that it was boring! Never saw one shoot in the ones. On the otherhand I saw a .223 necked down to .204 shoot .180" groups and a .222 Remington necked down to .204 shoot just as good. Tobe exact maybe a little more consistent. The difference in velocity between all three was less than 150fps, and the shorter case shot better. I've also seen the PPC case necked down to 20 caliber along with (believe it or not) the 22-250! There were no serious gains in velocity, and the 250 case ate the barrel in less than 500 shots. I always thought the 20BR to be an interesting round, and it will do 4300fps with a 32 grain bullet gary [/QUOTE]
