Default 20 Cal bullets

I recently twirled up a 20 VT on a 527.
Its lots of fun.
What .204 mid weight projectiles are our aficionados finding to be the best compromise between cost and accuracy? Big Thx in advance for responses.

We use a lot of 32 grain V-max and are plenty happy with the accuracy we get from them.

Default Sierra bullets

In both my Kimber and Cooper rifles the Sierra Blitzking give the best accuracy. I use the 32 grain in the 20 VT and the 39 grain in the 204. They may not be the most cost effective but a miss is not because of the lack of accuracy.

Same with my 20VT.

Since I must now use lead free on all game and even non-game animals/critters, I use the Nosler lead free tipped.
Work as well or even better, with the correct load as the lead ones did.

Like rider above, my 204's and 20VT all run best with SBK's, but because of cost, they primarily see a steady diet of Nosler BT's and VG's. We're still talkin' about 1/4" and under at 100 though in either case. Plenty good enough for the rats here.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but Bill did you need to go to faster twist to get those to shoot well?

Still using the 1/11 twist in my 20 calibers. It seems too do just fine. Plenty of good accuracy, everyone of them holds in the 1/2 to 3/4 grouping. Critters don't seem to know the difference.

My 20VT shoots 3/8 with the 32 vmax. Wicked performance on 200 yard prairie dogs. I always try vmax first in my 20's because of less cost and better availability. If vmax are not acceptable I go to Sierra and they are usually better groups
