[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2184524, member: 115658"] The .20 Practical uses easy to find .223 brass and gets close to.204R ballistics. I have had the same 11 twist .20P barrel on mine since 2013 with way over 3000 rounds thru it and it still can hit pop can/tiny rodent targets at 300 yards consistently. I like 40 Vmax bullets for 400+ but 32 Vmax bullets are accurate and just fine for 300 yards. I make ammo using a Redding F/L bushing die with a .226 bushing & Hornady .20 seater die. The .243 W is a real barrel burner and mine has been used with 87 Vmax bullets on prairie dogs with hits up to 600 yards. Barrel failure was sudden with much wear visible, like lands at 6 o'clock rubbed flat. [/QUOTE]
