Glenn it is possible to create .20 VarTarg brass from .223 brass including Lapua (no need to use high dollar Dakota cases, just get .223 Lapua from the cheapest source). First you form it to .221 using Reddings form die set, then form to .20VT. Depending on the neck in your VT you'll quite possibly have to neck turn (outside not inside) . My .20VT has a .228 neck so neck turning is mandatory any way.
I made 50 out of Lapua and as my rifle shoots better than I can anyway the weight segregated neck turned .221 brass shoots as well for me anyway and I can't see three hours worth of extra work difference.
