The more I use my 20P the more I love it…. I can’t ever see myself never using a 22-250, but that 20P is pretty hard to beat. Love my 222, 221 and 22 hornets too. Love my 223 and 6AI too…. Hell I love them all!

When I go PD shooting later this summer I’ll be taking 17 Hornet, 204, 222, 223, 22-250 & 22-250 AI.
A lot of our shooting starts at 300 yards. Often the 17 & 222 won’t get as much use as the bigger cartridges. Last year I brought these cartridges and the range was most often 400+ yards and it was windy. The 22-250 AI got the most usage.
Three of these have bench rest stocks and the 22-250AI is one of them - very little recoil.
I think the 204 maybe the most practical for PD’s. But I find the bigger cartridges get a lot more use when the range is long and the wind is high.
I have thousands of 223 brass so it gets used a lot. The 223AI would be a welcome cartridge that squeezes in the midst of these, so would the 222 Mag.

Fast twist .223AI is still where it's at for me these days.
40 gr VMax @ 3,800 or so fire forming.
75 ELD's @ 3,090 in formed brass with a great BC and makes pink mist at crazy distances.

Don t miss my 223 ackley one bit. It was wonderful when I used it. But the 20tac has replaced it
There has never been a time I wished it had it back

But 80 percent of prairie dogs get snot wit 222 and 20 tac
Coyotes 223 and 22-250

Since this came out I've built a couple 20P's and am enjoying them.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Do 20 Tacticals feed in AR's OK, or do you have to modify the mags?

But...you can't reload them once they are fire formed.
