Since I butchered his name, I'll add that his load is 24 grains of H110 and a 300 grain bullet. I dropped down to 22 grains for recoil reasons.

I've been using 22.0 grains of H110 and a 300 grain Laser cast bullet for years in my 10" Contender and my Ruger Blackhawks. This load is also used by Sheriff Jim Wilson, and writer Brian Pierce....
Check Bellm TCs,E Arthur Brown, Eds TCs for complete barrels and frames,and Match Grade Machine for barrels.

I can pretty much mirror what high standard 40 says,I have several in one form or another. My oldest is the 7mm tcu. I also shoot the 357 max a lot,22 K Hornet, 358 Bellm,30 Herrett, 22LR,30-30,45...
I've been shooting Contenders since about 1980 and will never be without one. I bought an Encore from a friend a few years ago and have several barrels for it too.

30 Herrett,22 K Hornet, 30-40 Krag,257 Roberts, 32 WS are all favorites. In my humble opinion they are like Lays potato chips, you can't have just one. :-)

Hey trooperdan,
I bought one of the OWS/SAMCO 7x57 rifles too. I'll probably mirror your thoughts on this. I got one with the spotter stock,cleaned the grease off,glass bedded it to fix the cracked...
I've been using 22 grains of h110 and a 300 grain Lazer cast bullet in my Ruger 45 colt for years. I haven't killed anything with it yet, but it's more accurate than I am. Don't quote me,but as I...

I get boxes out of the trash at the range occasionally. I also started using the plastic 9 mil 50 round ammo holders on the loading bench. They work great for use as a loading block when loading...

I have two Senecas, (the ex wife got the first one. GRRR). Anyway I digress. For an easy carry, light woods rifle, for my money this is the best that T/C ever made. I have both 36 caliber and 45...
I've been shooting the Missouri coated bullets in 35 caliber for a couple of years now and really like them. I'm shooting them in a 358 Bellm (358x444),they shoot like a house-a-fire in my 14" T/C...

I've made several orders with them and had good luck. Any issues, give them a call, they are easy to deal with.

Check eBay,you can get a new breach plug and plug wrench for not too much. Since T/C isn't making the Hawken anymore that's about your best bet. You can also get barrels there as well as other parts...
