20 VarTarg
Those of you who load the 20 VarTarg wildcat, do you neck up 17 FB or neck down 221 FB?

And is there ant neck turning needed, assuming a standard chamber?

Thanks

I have more 221 Brass available, so I neck down and neck turn. Have a Rem Model 700 classic

I bought 500 221 FB cases, so also neck down and turn. The VT chamber is designed around a no - turn 221 necked case. I turn only for 75% clean-up and really love this little cartridge. Built mine on an XR 100 in 204 that was chamber shortened by 16.35mm and rechambered to VT. Results have been better than I dared to hope. With 19.2gn H4198 giving me 3770 and exceptional accuracy,I finally have the rifle capability I need for rabbits in the open country I hunt.
