    T/C Contender Carbine - Caliber Advice

    Thanks Wapiti1...Now that is a thought. 🤔 The rifle I have, is chambered in .17 Rem, which I seem to think had a parent case of a .223 / .222 Rem, so my gunsmith should in theory be able to chop it down as you’ve said and re-chamber it into the larger 30-30 and thread the stub and screw on a...

    T/C Contender Carbine - Caliber Advice

    Thanks Actual_Cryptid & Wmmichael20. Yeah, it's a pain in the arse about the 1700 ft lb thing over here. 😡 I don't use factory ammo - just "roll my own" and currently load & shoot 6mm BR, .22 Hornet + K Hornet, 45-70, 308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor and 300 Blackout rifles. I did consider 6 ARC, but...

    Thanks Northpark. You’re right, the .243 is a fine calibre indeed…taken plenty of Roe deer with it over here. Just fancied something a bit different. 😂 Thanks, Lee.

    T/C Contender Carbine - Caliber Advice

    Fantastic stuff!!!! That's what I wanted to hear Jeremy. 👍🏻Not sure on barrel length yet as I haven’t done any research on what's best for the calibre. I was steering towards a 30-30, until the 7-30 Waters was mention on here. All I have to do now is find a barrel! 😖 Thanks again, Lee.

    T/C Contender Carbine - Caliber Advice

    Thanks guys. I knew nothing about the 7-30 Waters as it's not a calibre that I've come across over here. I've just had a bit of a swot-up on google and yes, it does seem to be pretty ideal for my needs. However, I've just dug out my old Hornady Handbook 8th edition and it says that the 7-30...

    Thanks ahlgringo. I'll drop them an email tomorrow. 👍. Yeah, been "rollin my own" since a kid, back when we were allowed handguns over here. 🙁 Started off reloading 9mm for my H&K's through to .44 Mag for my 629. I have to say, I did give some thought to the venerable 30/30. I'm a bit of a fan...

    T/C Contender Carbine - Caliber Advice

    Hello everybody, I'm Lee in the UK. I've been shooting, fishing and hunting for the past 40 years and around 10 or so years ago, sold my G2 carbine (.22 Hornet) and have regretted it ever since. I’ve been looking for a T/C Contender here in the UK for years, but they just don’t come up for...
