I always wanted a 20VT but ended up with two 5mmFBI's instead. It's basically a 40 degree 20-221AI, much like the 20SCC.
It sacrifices little to the bigger 20's. With the low BC of the 32's you're not getting much less wind drift compared to say 204R at 150-200 fps faster. Well anyway, I feel like my 20's search is over and I'm home free now. Quite a relief. Stepping up to 40gr in 20 cal in a VT or improved gives near 22-250 ballistics without the..... I just think 221 is going backwards a bit but I like to shoot as far as I can with as little wind drift as possible within the constraints of the amount of powder both 221 and 20VT burn. We were shooting at 550Y and 675Y on steel and were reasonably successful with my 5mmFBI. It was a joy to shoot! If shooting 221 it would have been much harder in the same winds - lower BC and slower. Last edited by steve123; 01-30-2018 at 12:11 AM. |

Bill K is right. I got my M38 Cooper in 2008 and have taken it to the prairie dog fields every year since with 600 rounds loaded with 18.7 gr of H4198 and a 32 Nosler BT and shoot every one. That and load development and general range time has handily exceeded 5000 loadings. I just toss them into a big coffee can and during the winter I pin clean and reload them. I'm amazed it still holds a 1" group at 200 yds. I always take two other rifles to distribute the heat.
