I hate to say, but have the same thing with the .243 barreled guns also. Not just one of them, but with every .243 that has came in for scope setting. Everything else had done just fine. Haven't...
Does anyone have a good load for the 30 carbine using 150 gr. GC bullet in a 10 in. barrel contender they would share?:cbpour:

Change the locking lugs on the bottom of the barrel with the new two piece lugs. Send the old one to T/C-S&W and they will replace them free. Also, you can contact S&W, they will give you a return...

Anyone have some great loads they are willing to share for the 30-20 10 in. T/C? looking for something to shoot BB & FP. What would be a good powder to start with say using a 125 or 135 cast bullet...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
If you call T/C or S&W, they will send you the correct rear sight, I can't remember if they charge me for one or just sent one. I do know they did send me a higher front sight for my .44 mag. 10 in....

You maynot have to clean the cases, but for me, I don't want to scratch the inside of my dies because of any carbon or dust. And everyone is right, they sure are pretty when the come out of the...

Who makes the best .224-.225 bullet mold say 50 grain-52 grain bullets with gas checks? I may be looking to cast my own for the .22 Hornet to shoot field pistol with from a contender...
Thanks, I was wondering if it is the same as a jacket and it looks the same, I haven't gotten real good accuracy from them, but, I could be using the wrong powder or the wrong charge. I haven't...
