Anyone shoot a 20 inch barrel in 204?

Thinking about cutting mine down a little to make room for a can.
Wanting to know the speeds you guys are getting?
I shoot 35 and 40 gr bergers.

Thanks

N8- I had a short bbl Ruger that got right at 4024 w/max loads of H4895 and 32 gr Hornady's, I was surprised!-Muddy

I have one I'm getting about 3650 with Benchmark but I several 1/10's off max with 35 Bergers

I just ordered an 18" barrel to build an AR-15 upper with. I wanted 20" but I also wanted a lighter barrel contour. So when I found an 18" Wilson .204 barrel I jumped on it. We'll see how it does.

Yup, done decided the 700 going to the chop shop. Cut to 20 inches and threaded.

Let us know how it works out. I've read several articles that 22" is the ideal length for the little 204. Have 22" and 24" can't see much difference. Anxious to hear the difference you get with a 20"

Check out bullberrys website. It has an article where they cut one down inch by inch and recorded velocity
