List updated again! :grin:

Cntndr85:
I'll PM you tonight when I get back home. Thanks for the offer. And yeah, this is turning into a lot more fun than I expected. This weekend I'm going to try to sort the list again and get things a bit more organized. For now, I'm just keeping busy making additions/corrections.

Special Ed;
I might have to put on an addition just to get some more wall space! :shock:
I don't think that I'll get all of them picked up, but I'll give it a good try. There have been a lot of very helpful people here that are helping me get a good start on it, but some of these rounds are probably going to take a good deal of luck to come across.

I have a 7 1/2" 50-70 barrel.

skb2706 · « **Reply #35 on:** November 24, 2004, 04:54:24 AM »

Damn........................50-70 ? bet that is a handful....Who cut the chamber ?

jhalcott · « **Reply #36 on:** November 24, 2004, 05:29:26 AM »

the 6.5x30-30 is NOT the same as the 6.5JDJ the jdj round is based on the 225Winhester case improved.

Ramringer · « **Reply #37 on:** November 30, 2004, 06:19:30 PM »

I am pretty sure JD Jones has reamers for the whole family of "Whisper" rounds. I have a TC chambered in 6.5 Whisper and I know he made 25 whisper, and a 7mm Whisper.
Like another poster mentioned, TC used to make a "HOTSHOT" series that the 357 and 44 cases held plastic shot capsules instead of a bullet... Strange looking rounds. Not real sure if they could just be fired in a choked barrel or riight out of a regular one.They would look real nice in a display case!!

HOw about bending some stiff wire into sort of a hook and stick it into the bottom of the case (flash Hole) and it will stand straight up... Sort of an L shape...glue one end into a nice oad board and maybe a little glue on the end going into the hole.... Also, maybe a very small piece of velcro behind the case...that should work ok..
Make sure to post a picture of your display when it gets done....

Thought I saw .405 Winchester listed as a barrel option somewhere.

Again it is updated.
As far as the display goes, I am considering putting the rounds in a display that will be a frame with glass (to keep the kids out) with some shelves in it. I'm just going to use a small dab of hot glue to stick them onto the shelf and have a wide enough face on each shelf to put a decal with each round's name under it. I guess the entire interior of the display will be painted black so the brass will show up nice. Does that seem reasonable?

rickyp · « **Reply #41 on:** December 14, 2004, 08:12:57 AM »

what round shave you gotten in so fair?

flatlander · « **Reply #42 on:** December 15, 2004, 01:58:26 AM »

I'll get a list up tonight with all the contender rounds that I have so far. I have the listing in an XL spreadsheet at home. I have been given a few that are higher power rounds as well, so I'm going to make them into another smaller display. If memory serves, I currently have approximately 60, and I would guess 40-50 of those are contender rounds.
I'm going to wait until after Christmas and my birthday in January before building up my display, because I put dummy rounds on my lists, and I'll see what the family can come up with for me.

skb2706 · « **Reply #43 on:** December 15, 2004, 03:12:06 AM »

I found a list at home that I got from the Van Horn website that lists all the calibers he can chamber in a Contender......don't know whether he has or not but there are several not on your list.

.221 Rem is still on your list twice..........

flatlander · « **Reply #44 on:** December 15, 2004, 05:10:46 PM »

I just edited the list again. I have all of the rounds listed in green, so if anyone has any dummy rounds for the others, let me know. This has been fun so far. I'm thinking of doing the contender board, high power round board, and maybe another one with fishing flies as well. If anyone else decides that you want to try it out, let me know and I'll send you what I can to help out.

flatlander · « **Reply #45 on:** December 16, 2004, 02:21:00 AM »

Let me get a list together of what I can offer you as well. I'll PM you tonight or tomorrow.

flatlander · « **Reply #46 on:** December 21, 2004, 03:31:10 PM »

Added more green to the list. I think I have another 10 or so coming in and I'll update when they arrive. I think I have enough now to start on the display after Christmas. Pictures will follow.

Jerry J · « **Reply #47 on:** December 22, 2004, 01:20:56 AM »

If you are going to list the Jurras cartridges don't forget the
44 Auto Mag.

michbob · « **Reply #48 on:** December 22, 2004, 01:01:44 PM »

OK, how about the .17 Flickertail?

Michbob

flatlander · « **Reply #49 on:** December 22, 2004, 01:46:16 PM »

I'll add it on. Man, I hope you guys aren't jerking me around. :shock: I've never heard of some of these rounds. I actually have a couple in my collection that I hadn't heard of until I got them in the mail. Pretty cool stuff, actually. It has been an educational exercise for me so far. Thanks to everyone who has helped out so far.

.32 Winchester Special...........................

flatlander · « **Reply #51 on:** December 23, 2004, 04:52:23 AM »

Updated again.

fyrepowrx · « **Reply #52 on:** December 23, 2004, 09:16:25 AM »

I have a 12" SSK tube stamped "30x39", simply a 7.62x39 with .308 bore..dunno if you would consider that one different enough from a standard 7.62 to make the list or not...

flatlander · « **Reply #53 on:** December 24, 2004, 06:33:05 AM »

fyrepowrx: I think that it is essentially the same cartridge, and that most of the contenders chambered in that round are using the standard 308 barrel over the 7.62.

Dave M: Will do. Let me know when mine arrive for you as well. I hope they are what you need. This is pretty fun. And the extra 32-20 if off of the list.

flatlander · « **Reply #54 on:** December 27, 2004, 03:55:58 PM »

updated green again. Thanks for the new ones Dave M!

Racepres · « **Reply #55 on:** December 27, 2004, 05:43:00 PM »

Drop me a line at amradrag@hotmail.com with yer address and I can send you a fire formed dummy of the 22-30 Oresky (I suspect it is much like the 5.7 Johnson) I also hve a 357-44 that is not a B&D. Also LMK if you did not receive an original .44 Hot Shot , as I could spare one for a good cause, and it will look very cool on yer board..... Cool Idea ... Marty

flatlander · « **Reply #56 on:** December 28, 2004, 03:54:26 AM »

E-mail sent. Thanks for the offer. Sounds great.

I don't see the 17 Bumble Bee. I have this in a 10" factory barrel.

rockbilly · « **Reply #58 on:** January 08, 2005, 08:59:41 AM »

Did I miss the 9mm par? I got one in a trade, it doesn't appeal to me so I never fired it.
