20 practical powder load data

[dan158]

Hodgdon site only has 33-36 gr bullet option for the 20 tactical.
Also they only have the Hodgdon brand powders option for the 20T.
Nothing for the xbr8208.. So my choices for the 40 gr are not available..

Here are the bullets I have... 40gr Nosslers, 40gr and 32gr Vmax,, 35gr and 40 gr bergers 39gr and 32 gr sierra..

My powders are.. Varget, H4895, xbr8208,, benchmark..


Can I use 223 data and if so what reduce charge load should I start at.. Or does anyone know of other 20T load data available from manufacturers.. Thank you... Dan

Western Powder has some 20 TACTICAL stuff. You could use 204 Ruger data and back off about 1.5 grains below STARING loads and work up.

The 39 BK is where it's at

Try the 35 grain Bergers and 8208. I shoot 24.8 grains and get good results. I would start a little lower and work up.
