Reloading manual for T/C
« on: January 05, 2004, 06:37:13 AM »
Who makes the best reloading manual for T/C contenders? I'd like one that includes not just the factory offerings but also the custom calibers from  SSK & VV. Data for pistol and carbine lengths would also be nice.

Just about all of the manuals have something on the cartridges Contenders are chambered for..most have sections dedicated to cartridges in pistol length barrels.  Some have some of J.D.'s data for the SSK side of things.  Have not seen any VV.data in a powder or bullet manufacturers reloading manual.  Most powder or bullet manufacturers websites have tons of info..and an available team of experts to field you questions.

This is the best source of data for the Contender.  You will find most of the loads that are in other books are included in this one.  It dosen't give you to many choices of barrel length, no Carbine data.
....make it count

Here's a link to the best Contender Manual I've seen.

http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=000308760

It's about 1 1/4 thick and dedicated only to the Contender.

Let me know if you have any questions about it.
