What's your favorite Contender cartridge?

[Doc Highwall]

I have a 14" Super Match in 22Lr but I cannot remember the last time I shot it.

[Shuz]

7MM TCU. It is the caliber most used by the winning competitors in IHMSA Production competition. At least it used to have that claim back when I was active in IHMSA in the 80's and 90's.

My favorite is 7x30 Waters in a 22" Bullberry barrelled carbine. Yeah I know it is cheating...

Good afternoon
Caliber .414 Supermag followed by the caliber .41 Mag which used to be in first place till I rechamberd a 14" barrel.

7-30 Waters 14" and 32-20 26". Both accurate and fun.

14" 22lr

[Lonegun1894]

I have .22LR, .357, .30 Herrett, and .44 Mag. The .22 gets by far the most use, and .357 has always been one of my favorite calibers, but I have been working up .44 Mag loads recently. Then there's the .30 Herrett that is great for longer range use with cast, and I have been thinking I should get something else when funds allow just to have something to play with. So what if I can't decide and just say ly favorite is whatever is a suitable caliber for whatever task I am trying to accomplish with my Contender at the time? I know, I'm no help.

44 mag is my favorite. The 14" 223 with a 6x scope gets all the attention when hitting a 10" steel plate at 500 yrds

[MT Gianni]

In the early 80's I had a 7 tcu and 45/410. I traded it for a PPC gun and recently bought a 222 Rem and traded into a 7 tcu bbl. I am enjoying them both but also looking for a 357 max or a rechamberable 357 as I shoot that in a Handi rifle. .

[wallenba]

When it's a handgun, 357 magnum. When it's a rifle, 7-30 Waters.

[Aunegl]

I started with a 14" 44 mag. As with any addiction, I added a 10" 32-20 and .22lr. As for which barrel is my favorite, tough choice. I'd say maybe the 32-20. Next week will probably be the 44.

[Moonie]

I've only had one, 7-30 Waters in Super 14". Yet another firearm I regret selling.

[dale2242]

22 Hornet, 223 and 30-30 for cast.
I love them all. hard to choose....dale

[Coonazz]

14" 223 and 6mm JDJ are my favorites. 45-70 and 30-30 for cast and hunting

[Quigley]

I'm up to 5 frames and 2 dozen barrels. I love them all and have a weakness for the wildcats (375 JDJ, both herrets) but the one that gets the most use is the 10mm (can also use 40 sw in it)

[Cheap Trick]

My favorite Contender handgun barrel is the 7-TCU. It is versatile and shoots Lee 130 cast boolets quite accurately.

[gofastman]

Id sure like a 15" pistol chambered in .460 s&w

[marshall623]

I shoot a scoped 14" 7-30 and a 10" 7 TCU with factory irons for IHMSA both shoot cast very well , another favorite is a 10 3/4" 30 herrett that shoots cast very well and is going to a match as soon as I get some feed loaded up for it . I cant forget the 14" 22LR for Small Bore IHMSA & death to squirrels and ground hogs

[wch]

My favorite is the 14", 7-30 Waters.

Plus 1

I am sorry to hijack this thread but what loads are you shooting with cast in your 7 TCU and 30 Herrett.
I have both and love the barrels but can not get either to shoot what I would expect out of them.

Thanks
