Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Need 20 BR load

Does anyone have a load for the 20 BR using the 32 grain Nosler BT bullet? Mine isn't shooting all that well with the 39-40 grain bullets, thought I would try the 32 grainers. It's really hard trying to find a good load this year, you have to use what you have on hand or what you may find at the local gun shop. Anyone have anything to offer?

Try here: www.saubier.com A few of the posters there have .20 BRs.

You might find this 20 cal page usefull.

I run a 20 VarTarg with the 35gn Berger @ 3650fps over 19.2gn 4198 and exceptional accuracy.

Just re-read your post and see you need data for the lighter bullets. From the same source and not personally tried is the following.

33gn V Max. (first run as they are now 32gn)
Fed 205
26in Shilen (no twist rate given)

Benchmark performed best.
30.5gn / 4073fps to 33.3gn / 4419fps

VN 133
27.8gn / 3984fpd / to 31.4gn / 4372fps

AA2015
29.5gn / 4103fps to 30.5 / 4360fps

AA2460
29gn / no velocity given
33gn / 4458fps. This load was rifle owners favourite.

Thanks for your replies, data for the 20 BR is had to locate.

Dick, try contacting Michael at:

I believe he can steer you in the right direction.

65BR, Thanks for the link

You are welcome, good luck.

Panhandle P/M me with your address. I got a handful of 35gr Bergers I will send you to try. Micheal goes by Mntgoat on here. I just got some 33.6gr NNB bullets from him for my tac20. His 40s shot like crazy out of my 1/11twist. He might be having problems making bullets. LOL he eat enough crabs last weekend to grow claws.
