Berger 55 gr 204 cal bullets
For you guys and gals looking for the Berger 55 grn 20 cal bullet, Grafs & Son show them in stock.. Better hurry. Bill K :)

I pre-ordered. Hope to have them soon. FYI everyone: Berger will do one production run per year and you can pre-order through Graf. Let's keep the demand up for this fine bullet (i.e., shoot the hell out of your rifles!).

I don't shoot a 204 so my question is more out of curiosity. Why if you are shooting a small caliber like the 204 would you want to shoot a seemingly heavy grain bullet in the 204? All of my friends who shoot 204's shoot a 32 gr bullet.
In my 220 Swift I shoot a 55 gr but that just seems heavy for a 204. I guess I always put it in category between the 17 Remington and 220 Swift/22-250. |
90 % if my 20 calibers are used with the 32 grainers also. But on occasion I do like to throw a heavier bullet out past 300 yrds. And when I do I use the 46.5 grain bullets from Badger Bob ( site member) I guess just more for kicks than a real need. Bill K :)

In the big 20's, like a 20 dasher... this bullet is a phenom. It's just a whole unique other thing. It's just a fantastic bullet, and those of us that really liked them were devastated when they said they were discontinuing it. |
Will these Bullets work ok in an 11 twist .204.
|
Never mind I see they recommend a minimum of 1-8” twist for these

The 20 cal 55gr Berger is somewhat of a specialty bullet and due to its twist requirements requires a purpose built gun so it's understandable why it's not a real popular choice among the 20 caliber shooting community.
BUT, if you do have a purpose built gun to shoot this particular bullet, you won't be disappointed because it is a badazz little mother lover. I shoot a fair amount of 53gr Vmax and for 22 cals in the 53-55gr range the 53gr Vmax is somewhat of a top dog, but when I sit the 20 Cal 55gr Berger next to a 53gr Vmax, the Berger looks like a tall thin hot looking runway model and the 53Vmax looks like your best friends fat sister. ;) |
