Another favorite of mine. Im not as passionate about this one but I do like it! I took my first Pig with a 14" Contender and this caliber and My wife her first deer with one in a Contender Carbine.
About 1999/2000 I had a large sell off and sadly, both of these where sold.
I had given my pop a 30/30 bbl and a set if carbine stocks. He returned them to me few tears ago. I sold the 30/30 to buy a 7/30 bbl but never found one I was willing to pay for. (They got silly expensive) Anyhow, last week I saw a friend on another forum had one to sell! We struck a deal we both found beneficial and I should have the barrel in hand this weekend.
I had brass, dies and of coarse plenty of bullets. Never tried cast in them maybe down the road. I picked up 50 pcs of brand new re formed brass and few boxes of 120 & 130 single shot pistol bullets last fall too. I found two boxes of ammo in storage this AM!! One brand new Fed Premium Gold Box and one of My hand load in Federal Red/White box with 120g Nosler Solid Base 120g FP bullets. Load said XX.Xg Win 748 @ 2700 fps.
I'm going thru Brass an sized all I had last nite. Darn if supplier of Brass did NOT ANNEAL Brass and of the fifty 9 split. Thats almost 20% loss!!!! It was made from brand new 375 Win Brass.
YES, I annealed all of these straight after sizing them!!
I have a email placed to see if he will make good on his product. I hope he is still in business. Any one know of the company?
Anyone else a fan of this one? What do you have and what have you hunted?
I have film of that Pig hunt but its on 8mm!!
