I sent him a message. Hoping he can ship to Canada.



*Sadly he doesn't. I have to go through an importer. I've contacted one and we'll see what it'll cost, might be too much for a couple of boxes to try out

I have several 20Tacs in bolt and AR. They are all 11 twist because my intent was to shoot the 40's( and they do it very well). I'm thinking about trying a box of the 55's in my 11 twist. Will I have any issues stabilizing these bullets in my rifles?

Some rifles with the 1/11 twist handle them fine, others not. You will have to try them in yours and see. My 1/11 twist do okay with them, but seem to handle a 46-48 grain bullet better. Bill K

My suggestion is get ahold of Badger Bob and get his 46.5 if you wanna shoot a heavier bullet, I doudt with the velocity loss and stability with the 11tw you will probably gain anything at all trying to shoot the 55's.
In my opinion the 55's work the best in the BR and 250 style cases.

Poncho83, I think Sherm is right on point with his comments on the 55 gr Berger 20 cal bullets. I tried an Kreiger 11-twist in my now "infamous" 20-223WSSM case (LOL!) with the 55 gr Bergers. Would never shoot them better than 3/4" groups at 100 yds. In fact the old discontinued 50 gr 20 cal Berger wasn't much better! I finally pulled the barrel set it back and rechambered to a 20 PPC. The same barrel shot lights out with the 39 gr Sierra's and the 40 gr V-Max (almost as good). Just my $.02 worth. 410gauge

How do I get ahold of this Badger Bob? Does he have a website?

Badgerbob is alive and sort of well, still making bullets. I got cleaned out of 55's but I will have more soon.
