3 weeks ago I stumbled onto a short article at the Woodchuck den about the 20x47 Lapua wildcat. It's a perfect long range solution for me for prairie dogs because I shoot 6x47L already in my tactical rifle, have lots of brass and I can switch barrels on my "go to" rifle for varmint hunting.
I ordered a PTG reamer a week ago and have a barrel set aside at Krieger. Dies will be ordered next week.
The cartridge won't be easy on barrels so I plan on using it for the longer shots only.
Here's the numbers for the 55 grain Berger.
3900 fps/.381BC/9000DA/100y zero/5mph-3 oclock.Drop=E Drift=W in mils.
200Y .2E .1W
300Y .5 .2
400Y .9 .2
500Y 1.3 .3
600Y 1.8 .4
700Y 2.4 .4
I'll keep posting when stuff starts showing up.
Can't wait till spring!
Anybody else run a 20x47L?
