A great opening paragraph

Treatise for Twenties by Kory Hamzeh, 6mmBR.com 20 Caliber Editor
Why are folks turning to the "Terrific Twenties"? Among the most important reasons are: low recoil, high velocity, low noise, reduced cost, longer barrel life, and better ballistics for a given bullet weight. In short, compared to a .223 Rem, a Twenty shoots flatter, costs less to shoot, and is easier on the shooter's shoulder and his barrel.

My shoulder, or my barrel are of no concern in a 223 rem. How is bullet selection on a 204? Whats the heaviest bullet you plan on trying?

The bullet selection with the .22 Cal is better then the .20 cal. Barrel twist becomes critical when deciding what your going to shoot with the .22 cal.
