Finally shot my 20 VarTarg

[waskawood]

I was finally able to get to the range and shoot my new 20 VarTarg. This Little round is amazing. It is a .221 Fireball necked down to 20 caliber. I cannot wait to get out in 3 weeks to shoot PD's for the first time in my life. Call it fulfilling my bucket list. It ain't pretty but it shoots. Rifle is a Savage PTA RBLP with an HS Precision stock, and a PacNor chambered barrel. Scope is a Sightron BSII 4.5-14.

5 shots at 100 yards 18.3 Gr. 4198 3700 fps.

Nice................have you shot it out farther than 100 yet? that is a zippy little pill too

Picks,

I have only fired 4 shots at 200 just to see how much drop it had. This was the first time that I was able to shoot it through my chronograph to get an idea how fast it was. I can now run the figures through my ballistics program to see what it does farther out. We have a 600 yard range so I am going to see just how well it shoots at longer ranges. It sure is nice to be able to shoot and see where you are shooting due to the low recoil.

Waska:

Nice shooting.

What bullet and weight?

Remember that if you shoot that thing out too far you will wear out the barrel quicker.

WG,

I am using 32Gr. VMax. I will save the 40's for the 204R. If you didn't scare all the dogs I will be able to shoot close.

Waska:

Which SR primer are you using?

There was a reason I was fed by a slingshot in the kitchen corner.....

I have used 7 1/2 Remington's on all my non-6BR rounds.
