Anyone shooting the 6.8 SPC out of their Contender?
« on: December 27, 2009, 05:12:58 AM »
Ok, ok...now the Contender bug has bit and I am looking for something different to hunt/shoot with.

I saw a barrel in the 6.8 SPC for sale and was kind of wondering if anyone on here had any experience with it?  I reload and don't mind doctoring loads to fit the barrel and was thinking that bore/case ratio might be pretty good.

I have a 23" rifle barrel for my Contender that shoots very well..as far as a pistol length barrel I believe it is better than all the TCU chamberings and they have killed a ton of deer sized animals.  I have entertained the thought of getting a 14" barrel to try..already load for it!

I had one in 23" Contender shot very good about the same damage on deer as a 243.I have a 12"MGM 6.8 that is extremely accurate have killed a doe and a spike and got an 8 point with it this year.I use 110gr Vmax they do the job.Mild recoil I recomend it.

I guess if you look around GB enough you'll find the info you are looking for.

I guess that I should have said Contender pistol...preferably 14" to get it to burn some of the powder.
