I have been reading this thread for awhile now.... I applaud all of you who are good at sorting out the puzzle... changing one variable at a time and keeping careful notes...
My brain just does not work that way..... The Clint Eastwood line about "A man needs to know his limitations" comes to mind.
I do really like the concept of a quite re-loadable small game round in a Contender carbine though. I have enough lead alloy horded away to last the rest of my days. I'm pretty frugal (cheap) too so I'd enjoy the just the cost of a primer and bit of powder in a small volume case plan.
Does anyone have experience with say a .32 Mag or a .327 Fed (if the longer case would not hamper a primary goal of accurate and quite "mouse fart" type loads) in a carbine or rifle length barrel?
No, but I have shot .32 S&W Long out of my .30-06 by using an adapter cartridge.
It was very quiet and surprisingly accurate.
