R2 D' R2 D R2 D' // HTR in 18
R2 B2 D2 B2 // solved in 22

//the funny thing about this DR is that there are two variations that I found that are 11-move long. One of them even giving a 14 move HTR. But I also had 4 DRs extended by one move, one of which giving this 22.

(L U' D F) U' F2 U' B2 L2 U2 R //DR in 11
U F2 D' //HTR in 14, optimal finish gives a 23

Looking at barely any 5movers might have been a mistake here.
Looked at 8 DR variation in +0/1 moves.

can insert S2 to get htr in 12:

also found a 21 from the original dr but that wasn't as interesting
