.20 Practical loads
New guy, first post. Awaiting my new 20 Practical in a couple of weeks(?). Any 20 P shooters care to share any starting loads for the Sierra 39 gr and the 40 gr VMax?? Or better yet powders that have worked out for the aforementioned bullets.

20 p
if you want smoking hot load, try 24 grs of rl10x behind 32vmax, that gave me 4200 fps. that was too hot for me ,,I went with 23.5 grs of aa2015 , if gives about 3800-3900 in CBI barrel 1-12 twist. my other 2 20p's shoot 24.5 g of aa2015 behing 40 vmax

VV133, start at 23 and work up. .010 off, .001 neck tension, R-P brass, CCI BR4s. My max load gives 3650. This is for a bolt gun, ARs I go lower by a half a grain. I've shot Nosler, Hornady, Berger, and Sierra but if you really want bugholes, try BIB 40s.

Great luck with Nosler 40gr BT, REM 7 1/2 primers, and either H4198 or V133. Shoots tiny holes, and blows P-Dogs to pieces.

These have worked for me.
I shoot a Criterion barrel with a 1/11 twist and these loads shoot bug holes for me.
35 gr. Berger w/ 22 grains of H4198 39 SMK w/ 25.6 grains of H335 40gr. Nosler w/ 24.6 of RL-10X The 35 gr. Berger is my coyote round as it stays inside the animal and does amazing work. Personally I would keep my loads under 4000 fps to keep from burning up your chamber throat. You will love the caliber. Easy to load for and accurate with everything it shoots.
