I friggin hate boards that require a review of post before it shows up!!!, riggin friggin things, 1/2 the time I get distracted (actually do some work) and forget to hit the second approval. Yeah, I know I can unclick the preview post box, just venting pent up rage from shooters board.

<br>Anyhow, I talked to my buddy, and he offered the loan of the 9" whisper tube, a very, very accurate SSK barrel, that has matched 14" 30-30 book velocities. I like the .223 case head as one can run the pressures in the contender up w/o worry of stretching the frame, or seperating heads on thutty thutty brass. Only weakness of the contender, that it is a weak frame, if you use larger dia cases.

<br>Anyhow, I'll be testing 110 gr whisper's&X and let you know how it works, hopefully by the end of the month. I doubt they carry the little X's locally, but will call around.
