I'm using Burger Varmint 20 cal 30grain match grade bullets. I load Hornady brass and Winchester small rifle primers. I couldn't find this bullet in my reloading manuals, so I used the 32gr Hornady bottom load as a start and worked up to 27grains of H335. 26 grains of this powder pushes the 32 grain bullet at 3705. I figure I'm shooting more powder with a lighter bullet so somewhere just over 3800. I don't think this is stretching things although I did not chron. this load yet. I will first chance I get and let you know the results. I'll be surprised if it is under 3800 fps. 28 grains of H335 moves the 32 Hornady over 4000. I know these are published velocities. I'm liking this cartridge more and more all the time.
