Anyone have a picture of one of these next to a .17 Fireball? Also, a picture next to a .20 Practical?

Which is easier to load/reload for, the .20 "Vartarg", or the .20 Practical?

Thanks.


Yes the Vartarg is a 221 Fireball which is just necked down to 20 caliber. Most of the time it is as simple as running 221 brass through a 20 Vartarg FL size die.

I don't have a picture of a 20 Vartarg and 20 Practical next to each other. Set a 221 Fireball next to a 223 cartridge and there you have it. They are both simply necked down to 20 caliber to create those cases.

They are both great. I have never seen or heard of a 20 Vartarg that wasn't easy to load for, that cartridge just shoots. I highly recommend it, they are a blast and will do the job on our eastern coyote just fine. Check out Saubier.com and you will have days of reading on these small calibers.
