    my favorite cartridge used to be a 30-30 (i killed alot of deer with it), now my favorite cartridge and rifle is a Winchester m94 in 35/30-30. i use a 200gr RCBS FN GC and 2400/tuft of dacron tat goes 1726fps.


    my second favorite is a Husqvarna m46 in 9.3x57 with a 275gr WFN GC and IMR4895 that goes approx. 1700-1800fps (still have to use my chronogragh).


    this year, my dad (RIP) always want a 30 Herrett in his Contender. so i bought a 10" barrel in 30 and 357 Herrett (bought them both cheaply) and i have a 2-6x Swift (old but good) handgun scope. it was a little bit dificult, but i got to set the reloading die to the shoulder of the case. i have about 100 cartridges loaded up with a 130gr Speer HP with Reloder 7.

    In the Contender have used the 35 Remington more than others for deer hunting, in a revolver caliber the 41 magnum in the Contender usually is used, for longer shots a 7mm-08 in various SP's.

    My SP's are Contenders so I'm limited to lower pressure rounds and l can't narrow it down to just one.

    For deer hunting it the 7-30 Waters.

    For varmints and target shooting it has been the 6mmTCU but as of lately I'm starting to favor a JD. Jones Experimental 6mm PPC barrel.

    My wishlist has been a 16 plus inch Rem XP in 6mm-284. I'm kind of parcel to the 6mm's.

    For deer 300 blackout contender
    for silhouette XP 7 TCU and 7 Br
    for 600 to 1k+ Striker in 6.5 x 284 and 6 BrX
    overall the 6 BrX is my favorite to date on my second barrel and have a new one in standby
