finally worked it out with Shane, my 204 ruger short will have the shoulder pushed back 30 thou, easy forming and necking down in a modified 204 fl die. I will get my slightly longer neck.

Do you reckon this is sufficiently different from the TAC 20 to give it a name or is it pretty much the Tac 20 arrived at in a different manner?

(edit)
and yes I suggested a name based on the fact I thought it was different enough
but to get a conclusive answer on where it's sufficinetly diff enough- ask saubier
()

P

Pat, just answer the question

Trevort, How much different are the 20 tac and the 20 prac.SO maybe the 20 thompson or Just another bloody 20 cal


Cheers AK

There is a bit of difference with the prac and tac Missed.

Pat wouldnt like to ask on Saubier, they arent as easy on the stupid question posters as our home grown buddies are

What about "20 Tachtrev"
or a "20TTT" (Trev Thom Tach)
or "20TLC" (Trevs little cartride)

OK smartarses, the post isnt looking for a name, its asking anyone who knows enough about the TAC 20 is it different enough to warrant a name, you know, just for a laugh

Pat I just asked on Saubier, we'll see if they think the question is too stupid to even get a reply. Maybe a 40 degree shoulder would make the difference

Yep thats a top name

Trevort's JAB 20

Just Another Bloody 20cal.Gold mate bloody gold.lol

20 JAB has a bit of a ring to it

I like it. Whats the main differneces between your new JAB 20 and the normal 204R??

its shorter, its a 223 case. If a 204 case fitted the magazine then it would be a 204 or the 204 case necked up to 22 cal like a 222rem mag AI

Ahh, ok then. Do you use normal .204 produce in it? or another type. Im still learning about all these wildcats and stuff.

20 (.204 inches) is the calibre so you use the same projies in any 20 cal its just the size of case behind it that varies.

I love the idea of "wildcats". Back in the '40's and 50's anyone who had something different, had their own name.
I say, go for it Trev------ I personally like Knackers twist on your cartridge---- 204 TLC.
for what it is worth---- my Dad was one of the first guys in Australia to shoot the "new" 243 Win. This was way back in the early 50's He would use 30/06 ammo, knock out the projectiles, save the powder, neck the cases down through several stages, ( I still have some of his early dies from Bill Marden Snr ), trim the cases and eventually end up with a 243 case.
Load up with a 70 gn Taipan projectile and he would shoot kangaroo's " that far away, by the time I got to skin 'em out, the foxes had eat'em".
You gotta love "wildcatters" Malcolm

Malcom, my Dad and his mates used 303/25s in the 50s and my uncle a 303/22.Dad told me a story of a bloke who had one of those 243s reckoned : when he shot it over the bonnet it would burn the paint .They may have known each other.
