    WTB: Contender barrel in 309 JDJ

    I realize this is a very specific item, but I figured I would see if anyone had one before laying down over $400 to buy one from SSK. I am looking for a 14" or 15" Contender barrel chambered in 309 JDJ.

    I've got a new/old stock, never fired Coyote Custom 14" matte blue barrel chambered in .308Bellm if you're interested. Bought it years ago and never did anything with it. Loaded using full length .444Marlin brass and standard .308 Win dies. There should be some load data on Mike's web site. How's $275 shipped sound? Let me know if you're interested and I'll dig it out and take some photos.

    I'm going to pass on 308 Bellm, thanks.

    A friend of mine has a 308 Bellm and uses it to swat ground hogs and coyoties. Accurate out to 300 yards.

    I'm sure 308 Bellm is fine, but I'm only seeing maybe 50 fps faster than a 30-30 Winchester. 309 JDJ has both by 400 fps or so.

    How about a blued SSK 14 inch in 300 savage? MGM recommends the 300 savage for G2 only but I don't think JD had any such hesitation. Loaded with modern powders, the 300 savage can match 308 Winchester factory loads.

    Now there's no chain.
