I am also a fan of the 20 cal rifles and as most know on here i have run a 20 Tactical for a long time now, i love it so much it hurts, i have gone and had another custom one and its stunning.
G1963 hit a charlie with my current rifle a few weeks back and he could not believe how good it was, 200 yards chest shot and i said just aim at the chest and you will not have any issues,
so no issues.
its a posh 204 in many ways but have a read of this,
http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...jB0df4MAfQGyBxnK4ULOw&bvm=bv.1354675689,d.d2k
it also covers the 204 that you are asking about, so in essence its my 204 but as you will read it does the same but just a tad better when it comes to how much powder you use,(and thats not a lot).
never the less when you start to talk barrel length/twist/bullet weight it all has an effect, no matter what calibre you choose to run with,
regards and best wishes.

I read this and fell in love with the calibre and had one built, never looked back,
The Tactical 20 was designed by Todd Kindler, owner of The Woodchuck Den, Inc. for precision long-range varmint shooting. The goal was to design a twenty-caliber cartridge with super long-range performance, but on a modest case design to minimize recoil and noise. Todd also selected the time proven and readily available top quality 223 case to base his Tactical 20 on (most shooters call it the 20 TAC today). Todd designed the 20 TAC with the accuracy proven 30-degree shoulder and the proper neck length to accommodate a wide range of bullets that he knew would be available down the road.
It didn’t take the 20 TAC very long to prove itself in the varmint shooting sports. It soon was destroying alfalfa eating woodchucks at 400 to 600 yards and stopping coyotes in their tracks with minimal pelt damage – something the most serious coyote hunter likes to see. Serious varmint shooters around the world started building 20 TAC’s for their varmint hunting needs. It wasn’t long until the word spread regarding the outstanding design and long-range potential of this cartridge. Some of the shooters like Greg Tannel owner of Gre-Tan Rifles, who just happens to have a solid reputation for building the most accurate competition and varmint rifles in the world built himself a 20 TAC and called it a “Death Ray On Varmints”!
The 20 TAC is one of the early twenty caliber cartridges that Todd has designed and it soon “blew the 20 caliber door wide open”! With 30 to 40 grain bullets, it is one of the most accurate and efficient 20 calibers available today. With the high B.C. 40 grain bullets, it has less bullet drop and wind drift than the 220 Swift! And does it with less than 25 grains of powder compared to the 220 Swift using 39 grains of powder!
