.20 cal funnel.

[Halfnutz]

Using a Berry's funnel for .20cal and getting Benchmark in the case is like trying to flush golf balls. The technique is to pour high on the funnel and let it swirl down and into the case. Too fast and then I have to tap the shit outta it. It takes longer to pour through the funnel than it takes to throw and measure charges.

Anyone have a recommendation for a great 20 cal funnel? Saturn maybe?

with their funnel and maybe a drop tube

The Area419 funnel with a drop tube works for me with Varget and H4350. Haven’t tried Benchmark though

Benchmark resembles baby varget. Very fine extruded kernels. Meters very well just bridges in my funnel if you i dont pour really slow.

I'll look at the Arra 419.

Maybe a ball powder, H335, BLC-2, CFE223? I know your pain feeding 7977 and h4831 to 6mm and 22 cal necks.

I have all of those but haven't done load development yet. H335 is next on my list. Benchmark has been tits with 32gr vmax. Cartridge is .20 Practical.

I just started with my 20 Practical. WC844 put 10 32g Nosler HP in less than an inch though. I had to get a 20cal drop tube for my powder thrower. What are you shooting it out of, what barrel length?

 

[Halfnutz]

WOA 1in10 24" in a LMT upper/lower. Pardon the bench mess.

1st shots after load development with Benchmark

I also use Area 419. I'd definitely recommend them and pour on the side of the funnel.

Very nice, I sure like those WOA barrels. I wanted a walk around varmint gun that was easy on fur and exploded prairie rats like a 22-250. I was going to get some last weekend but deer season ended being hard instead like picking vegetables.

Good shooting too.

What velocity are you getting?

3840 avg. No pressure signs. 25.5gr Benchmark is Hornady's max load for .20 Tactical which is the closest data I have found.

I picked up a bunch of 40, 50, and 55gr Bergers out of the PX. I plan on doing load development with the 40's and H335 when I feel like I can put the time into it.

I use a Saturn 20 caliber funnel for loading my 204 Ruger and like how it fits the case neck.

 

[Halfnutz]

The 419 funnel is a work of machining art and the price reflects it. Not saying it isnt worth it.

The Saturn looks to be the less expensive route until I have to meet a minimum order $ to make it worth my while.

If this site has taught me anything its "buy once cry once". Now I just have to choose between the $12 Saturn or the $100 Area 419 master kit +$12 .20cal attachment +$12 drop tube.
Am I really having this conversation?
