    20 vartarg (221fb necked to 20cal would have a little more wind bucking ability than the 17 version one would think but that's only coming from limited experience with 17hmr and 204 ruger which are way different beasts to each other

    I have a mate that swears by his cooper Vartarg, I have sizing dies, was going to rebarrel my Sako to it, if it wouldn't shoot the 25 gr v-max, nothing between these two cal,.(17 fireball and .20 Vartarg). the .17 25g v-max has higher Bc than the 32 gr v-max and 35 gr Berger, the vartarg is strangled a bit with the 40 gr weight.

    I am doing load development with my .204 CZ Varmint at the moment, it giving me 1/2" groups with the 32&35 gr bullets, with benchmark and varget, won't shoot 40 gr very well, and is amazing with the hornardy 45 gr soft point, I have not been able to find any 39 gr Sierra to try.

    You able to put me onto the fur buyers that these pro shooters are selling to?? Last time I looked (10 years or so ) pro fox shooting incurred a bill for transport well exceeding the income from the skins!!!
