    Yes I’ve read this and don’t doubt it. Bear in mind I’ll be adding an 8”, 1lb suppressor on the end, so that should tame it down some. I also anticipate shooting 200g Boolits for fun and the 350g HP’s for business.

    I've never tried the Contender, but a 10" Encore in 44 magnum is no big deal. Not any worse than a similar sized revolver anyway.

    Cut the barrel just enough to clear the handguard with the suppresser, and find a Bluedot load that shoots well. Crush some deer next season.
