Seem to have an affection for the 250/3000 parent case, hhhmmm! Know the 20-250 is already way overbore but is the ai version worth doing? The 55gr pills should do well here in the wind.
TIA, mark
If you go with 20-250 you can use 22/250 bushing dies,but, it you went 20/250 AI wouldn't you have greater expense getting dies?
Stretching brass and replacing might be cheaper than buying AI dies.

Default 20-250 ai

I've got a 22-250ai neck and fl die already. Tell the truth, don't know if they are bushing dies or not. I'll get back on that

Default 20x47L

Alright, you guys got me interested! Would barrel life be a little better in the 20x47L than the 20-250? Also what velocity could I expect with 55's? Same bolt face works for both? Barrel life is not a big issue but what could be expected maybe 1000 rds?

It will never come close to the 250 size cartridges with the heavy bullets. Personally I believe the 20-250 is way overbored and your barrel will be short lived. Just my opinion which is not worth much?

Mack, can you PM me regarding your 20Beggs? Thank you - Chuck

20BR is awesome for a coyote rig and 55s work great in there.

However, if you hunt with one long enough the BR case will bite you in the feeding department.

If you want a 20 cal rifle to shoot 55s and feed build a 20-250. It’s not as efficient as the th BR but who cares. After you have a few doubles come in and the gun feeds the second shell in every time you’ll be happy.

Center feed helps with the BR case feeding.

What is the case capacity difference with this chamber vs a 'standard' 20x47 Lapua?

Thanks!
