Spencer Bullets
Clay made them for short range BR. Like most of those type bullets explosive performance, on varmints, is disappointing. Lots of "pass throughs".

20x221
I made the easy choice of going with the 20x222. Simple neck down and go. H4198 and Sierra BKs give Eastern ground hogs and New Mexico prairie dogs a fit.
