Anyone know anything about a 20VT? Apparently it is a 221 Rem Fireball necked down to 20 cal, sounds really good. Anyone have good loads? How about a gun chambered for this round, who would make one? Rem is making a 17 Rem Fireball rifle but no 20 caliber, go figure.

  5mmgunguy,
  
  The 20VT is the .221 Fireball necked down to accept the .20 cal. bullets but with a slightly improved 30 degree shoulder angle. The VT is a reference to VarTarg or Varmint Target per the designer Todd Kindler. Todd is the publisher of Small Caliber News.
  
  Here's a complete article with reloading data featuring a Dakota Arms rifle:

  Or you could try to locate a used Mini-Mauser or Baby Sako to use.
  
  Best.
