what bullberry barrel should i get

[rickyp]

I am thinking about getting another contender barrel from bullberry barrel works . (Already have a 14 inch 209x50)
I have to decide what to get!
The choices will be
6, 71/2inch 45 colt, or 357 magnum
9 mm not sure what length from 6 to may be 10 inches
14 inch 223 Remington Match

Does someone have another idea? I am trying to stay away from expensive die sets but want something  that isnt off the shelf

I'd go for a 6mm TCU.  Good for varmints with 65-70 gr poly-tiped bullets and when loaded with the Sierra 80 gr. SSP bullet it's a dandy Whitetail/Blacktail cartridge.

A 7-30 Waters or 30-30 AI would also be good choices if you have plans to  hunt bigger critters.

in my part of MD we can not use handguns or rifles to hunt deer. so I have to use a 209x50 for  deer hunting. if i go to other county or states where i can use a handgun I have a 14 inch 375 jdj. so that should take anything i care to  shoot with a handgun.
for varmints I just got a 14 inch 17 rem barrel and or small game I have a 45/410 and 22 L.R. match ( I can use a handgun to hunt all small game)
so with my 4 barrels I can hunt almost anything that walks. I am now looking for another play barrel

I also ahve a 10 inch 357 magnun ( one of my most accurate barrel) and a 10 inch 45 colt octagon barrel that i dont care for much ( i havent shot it since i got it)

I have a S-14 17 Remington that I had for a while, but still haven't taken it out to the range. How do you like yours?

I have a 375x444 a.k.a 375 JDJ and I'm amazed at the accuracy it delivers with 225 gr. Hornady SP..

In my collection of Contender barrels there is a S-14 223 that shoots really well, but it really barks if you use H335 in your reloads. A great wat to get some space on the firing line.

I have only shot about 3 shots out of the 17 rem. I have to get some good brass before i can do any real shooting my 375 jdj loves the 200 to 235 gr bullets ti shoots better then i can.

Get yourself a 12 inch full bull 357 maximum, you'll never look back.

i'll second the 6tcu. it's as about as much fun as i can take.

For the "6", go with a 6X47 Match.  

But for the most fun barrel you can get from Fred, get a 17 Ackley Hornet.   Don't believe me?   Ask Fred!
