20/223 Shilen Match grade SS

[Bighornbob]

I am selling an unfired Shilen Match grade SS 24” with 1/12 twist barrel chambered in 20/223. I had Adam Bentley build this barrel for me nearly 14 years ago. It is .770” at the muzzle it is threaded for Remington 700 action. It is basically a satin finish. Crown is an 11 degree target crown Barrel is stamped 5MM-223. $420 shipped.
Contact me for pics. I can text or email them.

Bob, is this chamber just another way to say 20practical or is there some kind of difference? Do you have the recoil lug?

Sort of what I wondered, 20 Practical or maybe 20-223 with 40 degree shoulder ??

[Bighornbob]

I never loaded any ammo. I had 223 bushing dies to use 20 cal bushings.

Then that would be a 20 Practical, correct ? If you are just necking down the 223 case with no other changes.

The lug dimensions are critical w a non Remage bbl.

[Bighornbob]

Not sure what you are trying to say?

Recoil lug would be critical for proper headspace

I'm curious why Adam would stamp it 5mmx223 instead of just a 20 Practical
5mm is .197 and most 20 cal barrels are .199 bore.
