I am attempting to reload barnes 26 gr varmint grenades but there are no Barnes manuals available. Would anyone be able to take a pic of the manual that includes the length of case, cartridge etc and with loads? I will attempt to hunt down a book but they all seem to be out of them.
 
I have the Barnes #4 manual and there is not ever a section for 20 cal. On there website they have 2 loads the 26gr varmint grenade with win 748 and RL-10x.

Good luck.
 
Ooops Im assuming that COAL means length of cartridge (From website)?

When I first bought these the Barnes guys told me to use the data for the 32gr bullets, so that is what I did. My best groups came from the lesser amounts of powder, using Varget. Things will be different with Win 748, but you should get some acceptable results. The round its self is very accurate and I don't ever recall hearing that any ones gun wasn't grouping well with the 204. I have heard that some guns don't like the 39gr and 40gr bullets, mine likes them all. FS
