With tons of 223 brass, and due to there being a shortage of 22 caliber bullets when Obama first got re elected.. but 20s were available... I had a 20 Practical Built... instead of the 20 Tactical that a lot of people were ranting about, I like the idea of the Practical that just required necking down 223 brass to 20 caliber... had a 204 barrel on this rifle before but 204 brass hasn't been seen at local stores for quite a while... my intentions were 32 grain bullets, 34 HPs, 26 gr Barnes and 24 grain NTX Hornady bullets...

From what I read and hear it is the cat's a$s for crows and groundhogs which accounts for about 95 percent of my shooting. What's not to like? Same accuracy or better than the FireBall. 3800 fps with a 32 grain pill and only a pinch of powder. More Uber than the Hornet, and that's saying something.
