Need 338gnr Contender info
« on: December 05, 2003, 03:20:40 AM »
Hello all, I just came into a custom Reeder contender handgun in 338gnr caliber, it is a 405 winchester brass necked down to a .338 bullet. I only have about 3 differents that have been able to find for it. Do any you fine folks out there have any info on loads for this caliber. I have gotten what I could from the nice folks at Gary Reeder Custom guns but only had just a few listed. Seems that searches on the net are coming up empty also. The barrel on this one is 12 plus a muzzlebrake making overall barrel 13 1/2 inches. Thanks in advance for any help someone may be able to provide.

Hello gttownsend92,

My experience with Gary's load data for his own cartridges tells me that he has a pretty good handle on what works well for a given GNR cartridge.  You can vary the loads somewhat, but you may end up finding that his load data is quite effective.

Just my $.02 worth.   :lol:

Safe and good shooting to you! :D
