Looks great.
I have to ask, whats the difference between a 20-222 and a 20 Vartarg Turbo?

I am not absolutely sure but I think the 20VTT is like a 20-222AI

Nah, there wouldnt be that much difference in performance, I spose the biggest difference would be in finding someone who has a reamer and the cost of VTT dies, 20/222 just use 222 bush die, body die and seating die.

Shoulder angle and neck length
Basically a long 20 vt
I had a reamer but the cost and availability of dies swayed me

Been cracking a few rounds through the .20-222 lately, including some that Missed had loaded up using AR2219 under 32gn v-maxes. Some good speed, easy bolt lift, primers Starting to flatten a little but not excessively so. Pity I arsed up shot #2.

Had a mate up from Melbourne last weekend he wanted to go for a shot gave him the 20/222 to go down the paddock and shoot a few bunnies, he fell in love with it straight away
There just a great cartridge Branxhunter

The stock looks great in that pic. Nice shooting. Front bag must make the difference . Saves using a bipod on the bonnet.Branxhunter wrote: ↑Wed Oct 31, 2018 9:04 pm Been cracking a few rounds through the .20-222 lately, including some that Missed had loaded up using AR2219 under 32gn v-maxes.

Hey Marcus, I wonder how many of those who chose to use a Vartarg reamer are wondering how much it would be to get a real cartridge.
