T/C Contender at 40 yards

[Ben]

Shot my 10" , 30-30 Contender at 40 yards this morning
early.( before it got too HOT ! )

Load was 6.5 grs. Promo, Lyman 311466 Loverine, sized .310" with
my own aluminum .014" g/cs. Wolf Large pistol primers.

6 rounds at 40 yards
BTW, I've got 12 pounds of Promo..................

Ben you have entirely too many options to go deer hunting with this year lol!!
Looks like another good load.

I've been waiting on AL to make some more 360315's (saeco clone) with pb and gc in the same mold, but i think he has the 311466 clone in stock....looks like a good one. I have it in mind for my .308 rifle.

Funny how all the experts will tell you the octagonal bbls are all chambered crookedly and the 30-30 is no good unless you have a 14" minimum bbl. Nice shooting.

I guess mine doesn't understand all that.

It is a real shooter ! !

I have loaded some 30-30's with the NOE 311440.
Sized .310" with nose sized .302"
Same load 6.2 grs. Promo.
I hope these shoot well ? This bullet is a HAMMER !
Probably the closest thing you'll ever see to a .30 cal. rifle wadcutter.

Man, those look like some oak board killers to me.
Ben, anything those hit will stay hit.

I've shot the 311440 in my rifles, they are a lot more accurate than you'd think just by looking at them. They are like a 38 cal. 148 W/C, a lot more accurate than their appearance suggest.

The ID label on the target below says 5 rounds, but I think it is more like 7 or 8 ?
These are plain base 311440's at 50 yards.

I love shooting the 'Tender. No targets for bragging rights, but she's a shooter. 45-70 super 14 w/ the muzzle tamer. Shooting Lyman's 457125 @ 530 gr. and 5744 powder
