In the beginning, Vmax's and Sierra's were not shooting well enough for me so I switched to using Noslers. Over the past year or so many, many rounds were tested with Nosler being the most accurate in both plain and zinc coated. Eventually James was sent bullets to test with results being he will now make these bullets using the same 32 grain Nosler in 20 caliber drawn down to 19- As I understand it, he bought 250,000 bullets from Nosler so that should help those in question wondering how serious James is about this. Once he completes the die making process (he makes most all his own machinery) I think you will see the product rather quickly. By the way, for 19 shooters this bullet has a BC of .220 - and will come with zinc coating, same as all Calhoon bullets.

And for that matter what does 20 do that 22 didn't?
Zinc coating? you wanna talk about persistant fouling?

"What does a 20 do that a 22 won't do", ask a 20 TAC or a 204 Ruger shooter. As flat as a 22-250 with 1/3 less powder. James has been Zinc coating bullets for a long time. I would say, unless someone has first hand experience, with Zinc coated bullets, the fouling issue is conjecture.
