Hello everyone!
Haven't posted in a while! I have wanted to find a 30-30 win contender barrel here in Canada for some years now.
I just happened to come across a brand new G2 Contender in 30-30 Winchester.
I am expecting it to arrive within a week or so.
I am wondering how these new G2 30-30’s are throated from the factory.
I am hoping to be able to seat a cast bullet into the lands without having to seat the bullet too far out of the case.
How are these new barrels typically throated from the factory?
The last factory barrel I managed to obtain (357Maximum, 21”), had such an extremely long throat it was ridiculous! The lead was no less than 7/8” in front of the case mouth! I could place a 220 grain semi-wad cutter in front of the case and close the action WITHOUT THE BULLET seating into the case mouth!
I have never seen or heard of a chamber with a lead that long! Lol!
I am just hoping for a usable chamber dimension for both J-words and cast.
What have you shooters seen in these 30-30 carbines chambers?
