Does anyone know if T/C or other manufactures are making Contender barrels for the 5.7X28 cartridge?

Getting the barrel or having one made is the easy part. Finding dies and brass is the bear right now. I think this little rascal is a fine candidate for a .17, .19 or a .20 myself. Could be loaded up or down with any of those calibers to match or excede the RF varity.
Don't feel alone your not the only one waitin and wanting.

The dies are easy, we have them in stock. Brass is hit or miss on the auction sites.

Thanks for the info, guys. I think this little cartridge would be a hoot on a Contender. I haven't even thought about necking it down... lots of room to play there.
