Hi Folks,
There are some really good ones out there. My favorites are the 10" 357 Maximum and 14" 309 JDJ. My Maximum is a rechambered 357 Magnum barrel that Mike Bellm made up for me. Mike does really nice throats, which contributes bunches to accuracy. Mine has the T/C Silhouette rear sight, which is very nice. My 14" 309 JDJ barrel sports a 2x Burris Posi-Loc scope, which does a great job. The 309 JDJ is my only 14" barrel, the rest are 10".
I like the 30 Herrett and 30 Bellm too, but don't use mine very much. I also have 7mm TCU and 223 Remington, but also rarely use them.
I've always been intrigued by the 6.5mm JDJ. It looks like a super deer and hog cartridge, with less recoil than the 309. Do any of you shoot this one?
So what are your favorite Contender cartridges, and why?
Take care, Tom
