black powder in the Contender??
« on: November 06, 2006, 09:41:14 AM »
  I got several hundred 435-70 rounds from a guy at the club ,half were loaded with black powder and the rest with 4759 powder. IF I shoot the black powder loads in the Contender will I have to disass emble the action for cleaning?.I mean more than just pulling the barrel off! I have arthritis and carpal tunnel and reassembly could be a nightmare!

If you trust the guy, go ahead and shoot them.  The cases should seal any fouling from getting out of the barrel.

You can only hit the target if the barrel is pointed in the right direction when the bullet leaves the barrel.
