20-222
For one reason or another guns don't always shoot the bullet you want them to.
My TAC 20 is a 1 in 9 and wanted to shoot the 39 BK. You know that gun shoots or should I say patterns that bullet.

Going back to the 20-222 next month. I bought a SS Shilen barrel 24" Mag Contour (Match not Select) and am working on modifying a 40X Youth stock to fit a Rem XR100 action (shaved sides off of it and filled the gap from the rail) and make a nice lite carry stock. As a side note Numrich has the 40X stock for as low as 15$. Anyway I have a desire to build one so I am.

Not to hi jack this, but how do you identify the " earlier lapua brass " from the current run
Thanks Johno |

Current Lapua 222 brass has "match" marked on the case head. My earlier brass does not. Also, the product designation of the current brass is 4PH5002. The earlier brass had a product designation of 4PH5011.

Well my bad luck, I have a box of new brass but its the older 4PH5011. Was going to use it my light sporter roo rifle. Still it might be better than win & rem

I get we like all small calibers, but I am having trouble seeing how the 20-222 would give me any different performance than a 204 Ruger, and I have to form brass, buy different dies, or bushings, and get a non-standard barrel reamer. What am I misssing here, is it just the variaty and the abiltiy to say I have something a little uniqe, which is an okay reason to buy something.

Well forming isn't a big issue, if you have any bushing die for the 20VT or the 17FB or 222 you can make the 20-222. Plus the 204R is much bigger than the 20-222 by 5+grs. Also there isn't fire forming involved, per se'. There isn't any change to the shoulder so load and go, where forming cartridges with the 30* shoulder needs a second load data done. Plus it's unique.

And you can use lapua brass (reason number one imo) and you can definitely see your hits at 3900 fps.
