I'm doing research for a varmint rig (heavy benchrest). Probably 20br.
How does the Berger perform and at what velocities? I've read some reports of the 55gr Berger penciling through PDs. Also I've read some about 20-250s and 20x47 Lapuas not killing coyotes cleanly at short range (<200-300...
What is the thought on shooting the 55gr Berger for varmint hunting? Does 20BR have enough capacity or is one of the improved wildcats better matched with their extra case capacity?
I'm thinking of building a new long range hunting rig. Probably medium weight/contour 24-27" barrel. Not sure about actions yet as I'm in the inital planning phase. Open to suggestions. Contemplating the 6.5x47 Lapua pushing a 140gr Berger hunting bullet or a 7WSM or 284Win pushing the 180gr...
