    The 6mm BR is to hot for the Contender frame. May be to hot for the G2 also. I have seen sever for sale as Encore's. I have a 14" SSK barrel in 6mm PPC that I use starting book load for my Contender frame. I bought a G2 frame so I could throttle it up but don't like that frame.

    Oh that’s a bummer but you can shoot 45/70 out of a contender that’s crazy

    I have a 6mm BR Encore barrel I would part with if you decide you want to go that route.

    Good luck with your search Dave, keep checking the auction sites and you might find one, SSK did in fact build them for the Contender and they are marked “6mm BR for use with factory loads” or something similar to that, I have seen a few of them for sale over the years so don’t give up. And yes, they can be too hot for the Contender so you need to easy when loading for it.
