    Cast 270 REN In A 10" Contender

    I knocked another barrel off my wish list. I purchased (well waiting to pay for) a 270 REN 10" bull barrel for my Contender pistol.

    Does anyone have practical experience shooting cast in this combination? What boolit mould(s) should I consider? I know the boolit and bullet selection is limited for this round and it is a single purpose round that CAN be used for small game hunting with cast since jacket bullets do not expand at these velocities.

    I had a 10" contender barrel for the 270 ren for a short time. It shot very good with an old Ideal mold I had for a 150gn rngc boolit.
    Somewhere stashed away I think I still have a box of brass and a small quantity of those boolits.
    PM me if you would like them.
