I believe I saw some brass in the Classifieds, in case you need any.

I have a 16" carbine barrel. It is a tack driver. I have shot it as a pistol a couple of times. Just about the only barrel I still have left.
If you could send me the link I’d appreciate it big time I just went through the S&S section and found nothing for 7-30 brass.Originally Posted by nicholst55
My first pistol was a Contender 14" in 7-30 Waters, loved that pistol. Great caliber for the Contender. Enjoy it.
This might be the listing referenced.

The only stupid question...is the unasked one.
Not all who wander....are lost.

Alternately get some 30/30 brass and run it through a sizer die, then fire form and you have official 7-30 brass. Have 300 cases from DiamondK that I'm 1/3 through sizing so I can fire form them later this money (I hope!)
That is the only Contender caliber lefty that I would buy now.
Would gladly move some to get it.

I was shooting a Contender with a 14” 7-30 Waters today. Very impressed with its accuracy.
It is in perfect condition with a set of T\C mounts and a 2.5-7 T/C scope! The negotiations were long but friendly, a barrel of mine and some cash. It doesn’t look like
It’s ever been mounted on a frame. I know stainless hides the wear marks better but it looks
Perfect to me!
Many years ago,, a gunsmith friend was discussing the (then) new T/C bbl he had in 7x30 Waters. I took his outside, shot it,,, and went into the gunshop & ordered my first one.
Well over 100 whitetails, elk, and many other critters later,, I too appreciate that caliber in that gun. I now have a second bbl, and it's the one with the factory porting. I fell into it CHEAPLY,, so it had to come home.
A very accurate, mild recoiling, and deadly on game gun.
Fireforming brass isn't hard, and you will be set.
Mine is a Contender Carbine with a Bullberry semi-bull 21" bbl. It has been a delight to hunt with.
Always nice when a plan comes together. If you need any 30-30 brass to reform I'm pretty sure have some around I could pass along.
Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.
Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

Thanks Roger; I’m rolling in 30-30 brass; as it’s always been a popular round in our clan. I also just completed a deal for some already sized and fire formed in S&S section! Can’t wait to test this baby out! I totally see this contender and my encore being my “old man” guns; as in thin the herd and continue to load and cast and experiment with these delightful single shots! If my luck holds I’ll find some dies this week.
