Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots contender accuracy

79, I was fuggin' with ya. It's a Contender carbine chambered in .22 short. It sucks.





The other barrel is a .30-30 and it runs 100 yards sub MOA for 5 shots routinely. Sierra 150 grain Gamekings or Hornady 170 RN. Or 150 grain Nosler BTs. Given a decent barrel and bullets, properly loaded, the .357 or .44 will do the same. Prior advice about Bullberry is spot on.

OTOH, the Ruger 77/44 will do the same with 300 grain paper patched lead.



That came from a dead deer shot thru the heart at about 80 yards.

It's a conundrum, I don't know what to recommend. I prefer the Contender myself but they both work.







They all suck. Ask the pigs and deers, they'll back me up.
