Great information, G! And that would have been an incredible buck to get. Wow!
Attractive gun, Gerald. Looks like Georgia Jim woodwork.
BT yes 360 DW brass and I am sending in to have rimmed also a 300 BO and my own version of 338 BO Whisper ish ?? I have a 256 win I was thinkin on sending in to have the chamber reamed to 360 length also, But now because G had to bring up the 25 30-30 AI I be thinkin maybe just have it chambered to the AI, I am so glad I do not have a lathe I would be wearing out barrels just re chambering them every time I read another LOOK WHAT I DID
Another beautiful example of wood on contenders - jealous here! I do have a nice wood carbine stock and forend, but I am always afraid to take them outside - plastic for me
I could see getting into the 25-35 - I like the balance of 25 calibers between killing power, trajectory, low recoil (I have 2 kids that I do not see a need to burden with the recoil/ noice of 270, 3006, 308, etc).
We have 4 250 Savages we hunt with, No. 1's, Ruger RSI, Savage "custom", Ruger 77.
Would not mind exploring the 25-35 sometime in a contender carbine.
Super good story’s Gerald.
G-
Great story. I am glad to see your affliction for quarter-bores continues. I believe it was you who relieved me of a 24" 25x30-30AI close to 20 years ago. That one loved both the 85 and 100 grain Ballistic Tips and Re-15 powder.
Bobby...it was my fine results with that barrel that started my fondness for .25's in the TC's, and they have performed very well on game, without much recoil.
