trucraft Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Nice group, is that a representative size group for that load? Bet that's a sweet little varmint caliber. What bullet are you using at what speed? Have you got a photo of a loaded.round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I'm running these in the lower velocity node at about 3600 fps but there is a higher node but this does the job for me so why put the pressures up , the bullet is a 39 grn sierra blitzking , I'll try and get a pic on tomorrow of the loaded round. forgot to say they are the ones on the right .

Bigkev1 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Isn't a 20-222 a vartarg turbo ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably shoulder and/or body taper difference? a la 20prac v 20tac. 223 is a 23deg shoulder, so assume parent is too, VTT is probably 30deg?

A No. You’re mistaken, Alycidon. The 20 Vartarg is a necked down 221 Fireball, the 20 Vartarg Turbo is a necked down 222 Rem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigkev1 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 I was going to go for the vartarg turbo but a quick chat with mr kershaw decided on the vartarg was built on a 17 fireball action by baldie an what a gun it is accounted for plenty of foxes with an archer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 They are all little crackers. If you wants the silly speeds, then the 20 Br is the ultimate. I've built half a dozen over the years, and everyone loved them. If i had a use for another .20, i wouldn't hesitate. The 222/223 cased variants all work nicely on that sized action, with virtually no mods to mags etc, but the tiny ones such as the vartarg etc, require the mini actions to feed. The cz 527 and the rem 17FB actions are perfect. Cz do a factory 221 magazine for the 527, which is readily available. Haven't used a Howa, but they do a mini action also. I much prefer the .20's to any of the .17's personally. You dont get barrel fouling problems, and the supply of .20 cal blanks, and also gucci bullets is far better.
