I have a call into the Woodchuck Den and hope to get his .20 cal manual heading my way soon. In the meantime does anybody have a drawing of the .20 Vartarg case that shows all the dimensions?

If so, could you text, email or pm it?

Thanks!

I don’t have the drawing. But have a couple 20VT rifles. It’s a terrific and under utilized cartridge, in my view. Wish it was commercialized.

built mine in 2007------still running

Love mine. This might help - it is the reamer. http://cdn0.grizzly.com/specsheets/t23225_as.pdf

Thanks. Sourcing .221 brass has not been easy. Sitting on a pile of .17 Fireball Virgin Cases. Hoping I don't have to neck up to .22 and back to .20 but not sure if a simple pass of my .17 FB cases through the Redding VT dies will work. Have done it on a few and the cases look good, just want to check against chamber specs. My barrel is still on order so have some time.

Thanks!

Med,

I might have a line on 221 Fireball brass, but I am shooting a 17 Fireball...

Would it work if I can line up the 221 brass to do a swap? because I was going to neck this down to 17 Cal.

Also when I built a 20 Practical, all I needed was a $20 die from Hornady, designed just to neck size from 223 to 20 cal...

I just need to dig it out to tell you what to order... I'm sure its not a big mover at places that would carry things like that.

I may consider a swap if it looks like the .17 brass is going to be a pain for the VT. Feel free to PM me the info and we can go from there. Text works also. 406-231-1545

I've only ever used 221 brass......not 17

I do remember using 223 brass to 20 VT

Kinda a PIA labor wise..........

That was 10+ yrs ago when brass was everywhere

What kind of numbers are we speaking of Med?

I think I have 300 virgin cases. Nosler. May have 400.

my source has a couple thousand, Remington head stamp., new cases.... bulk box from Factory.

Reach out to "mickincolo" here on the fire. He may be able to help you with drawings.

For anyone looking for .221 FB brass...
