Anyone have one of these yet? Just wondering how they are working out so far? Looking to see some range reports.

I haven't had the pleasure of the BHW barrels in those offerings yet. As to round performance I can speak with experience that the 20 Tactical will dissemble a prairie dog in short order.
I think the PRACTICAL is and would be the more practical of the two. 204/20 Tactical performance and no hassle setting shoulders back with free brass like the Tactical uses.

I don't have one of BHW but have one from WOA. I got this before I knew about BHW. I did alot of research on both the prac and the tac. I went with the prac and really love it. There seems to be more published reloading data on the tac. But with the prac there is no fireforming to the brass. All you have to do is get some redding s-dies and a couple of bushings( I can't think right now) like a 230 and 225 and a 20cal decaping pin. What I do is the first time reloading is run them all through a 223 die to knock the primer out and get back in spec. Then I run it throught the s-die with a .230 bushing in it and once done with that take the bushing out and install the .225 bushing drop the primers in and load. When You go to reload again all I do is run it back through the die with the .225 bushing. The only reason that I run it through the 223 die the first time is that I was getting a slight bulge at the bottom of the neck. It did not hurt anything but I did not like the way it looked. I run 26gr barnes and 35gr bergers with either benchmark, h335 and h322. These have given me the best groups. What I really like is when shooting targets or PD's you can see the bullet hole magically appear on the target and on pd's you get to see the dog explode even on a high mag scope. I have not run them over a crono. As far as yotes go they will put them down also. I have tried v-maxes and they did not group well. Hope this helps.

I'm pondering the same question... 20 Prac or Tac?

Go PRACTICAL! I have the TAC and wish I had been able to get Dtech to make me one but he didn't have the reamers then. Mine shoots like house on fire but the PRACTICAL is so much easier to make cases for.

That's what appeals most to me... easy case prep ... good to hear another opinion
