Found this on Ebay.......gunbroker....scuse me

I even asked him about it and he still insists on selling it to a Contender user. A Super 14 chambered in 284 Winchester, with a chamber pressure of 60,000 psi.

Send him a link to this destroyed 444 Marlin Contender, the 444 runs @ 42kpsi and has a .470" case head, the 284 Win runs at 56kpsi and has a .500" case head.

     I find it hard to believe that someone who posesses the ability to accomplish the work that is obvious in the pic did not have the knowledge to know better :o :( :o ??? .  Flash, You did good throwing in the red flag! Thanks!

Is there anyway to report that to gunbroker before someone buys it and has it blow up in their face?

I thought the .444 was on the Contender list of barrels approved?  I know my .375 JDJ uses the .444 case!  Something doesn't sound right here?????
Just another voice in the crowd!!!
