Hi all,
I am having a Contender rifle barrel made up, and I would like to have it throated to shoot heavy bullets like the Speer 250 spitzer, seated as long as possible (~0.25-0.30" seating depth). I think I should be able to push them with LVR near 2300 fps when loaded this way in the 24" barrel, at 45k psi (in theory; I haven't chrono'd anything yet).
I think this would make a very handy elk and deer rifle. Any thoughts?
My next issue is that the Speer bullet is out of stock everywhere, so my other option is to send a dummy round with my 220 gr MP Mold flat points that I cast.
Pete
