Powder recommendation for .20 PPC shooting 55 grain Bergers
Can you guys recommend a power for .20 PPC or .20 Titan shooting 55 grain Bergers?
Thx, Jordan |

20 Titan powder
In my experience, Benchmark or 8208 both work well. Not too much difference between the two in either the 20 PPC or in the 20 Titan cartridges.

I don't have a 20 PPC but Benchmark seems like it'd kinda be on the fast side for the 55's. I'd think Varget or similar burn rates would maybe be better with the heavies but then again Varget is sorta bulky so maybe you can't get enough in the case. A long drop tube would help if that were to be a problem though.

H414 is what I found on the Internet. It works really well in the rifle I got from you with 55 grain Bergers.

I'm another that doesn't have the cartridges you're asking about, however, in my 20 Extreme 8208 works very well with the 55 grain Bergers.

Powder for .20 ppc
I have a total of a little over 3500 rounds of. 20ppc through a couple rifles, all 55 Bergers. Varget is my go-to powder. I've experimented with 4895, Rel 15, vv135,and Blc2. Velocity 3350 to 3500, depending on barrel and different temps. My first rifle, Savage model 12 with Lilja 9 twist, still shoots 5 shot groups in the 3's after 2400 rounds. I'm working now with a BAT/Krieger custom. Haven't quite found the sweet spot yet. I'm committed to the 55 bullet. I bought 2000 of them last fall. Very good wind resistance without the recoil of bigger cartridges and bullets. I would enjoy comparing notes and experiences with others shooting. 20 ppc/55's.
