When all is said and done, the .20 Practical or even the .17 Practical (if you want a wildcat) are likely the best or at least easiest choices.

.204 dies can be used for neck sizing & seating, or even .17Rem die for the .17cal. version.

Default I Have Decided!!

OK, I have decided on the way to go.

Some years back someone (montdoug??) on this site posted a Gre-Tan 20 Tactical fluted barrel & dies for sale, I bought them.

So... I am a little doubtful about the Var-tag as the brass is not easy $$ to get and they seem to be hard to make feed correctly. The 22 Nosler may be hard to find a smith with a reamer and I don't want to buy one. The 20 Tactical barrel, I bought, is just sitting there waiting to be used so that is what I will go with.

Now, the barrel is threaded and chambered for a Rem short action but the minor diameter of the rem threads is larger than the major diameter of the mini mauser action so, no problem there. However, I will need to find a smith who can do the work and has a 20 Tactical reamer OR buy or borrow a reamer for the job. Any Ideas on the reamer part? Or the smith part?

I will keep you all informed on the progress of this build, and thanks for all your help.

Default Adam

Try Adam Bentley, he's built some 20tacs and nothing you've described is outside of his skill set, plus he's a member.

I have a 20 TAC built on the mini mauser with a PacNor barrel. No one will get that gun until I die. So accurate, easy to load using Hornady dies. So nice and light but still so easy to shoot. Bob Green built that one. Adam built another on 700 action with a Shilen barrel.
