375 JDJ in a Contender carbine and whitetail deer
« on: October 21, 2008, 03:24:45 PM »
I just did some trading and got a 375 JDJ contender rifle barell and plan on using it on whitetail deer and hogs. Any recomendations on powders and bullet weights would be appreciated. I am thinking 200 or 225 grain. Any experience will be appreciated.thanks Robbie

I've owned 4 SSK 375JDJ barrels going back to when JD first started offering them.   They are a lot of fun to shoot and you won't be limited just to deer and hogs with it either.    You can pretty much hunt anything that walks the earth with it. 

Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus
