So because you guys are a bad influence on me, I built a 20 practical upper. 24" BHW full bull barrel. I have a ton of 32gr z-max( v-max, but yellow) and would like to push them with H335, IMR 4198, or IMR 4895. I see lots of references to these powders, but no "ranges". Hodgdon list the 33gr in the 20 tactical, but want some real world advice. Thank you for your time
 
I use 20 TAC data for my base loadings in the PRAC and move up a tad. I'll look at my notes and see what I have on mine later this AM. Not sure what powders I have tried as I tend to the AA stuff in my 20's.

I tried several powders with my .20 Practical but, only one bullet. I only shoot the 40gr. Vmax with H-335 and it has produced groups in the 1's at a chronographed speed of 3750 fps.

Another good place to look for load info is Saubier if you don't get any info here.

I know this won't help but I use 8208 in my 20t shooting 39 grain Sierras.
 
Not the powder you are thinking of but we shoot 4 20 Pracs using 8208 in bolt guns. Spectacular performance. 12 twist barrels using 32 grn. V maz / Z Max.
