Contender or Dan Wesson?
« on: August 16, 2006, 03:10:24 PM »
Hi,
      I'm looking at hunter class shooting out to 100 yds. and have a Wesson mod. 15 in 357 mag and also have a Contender. The question is buy the 10' barrel for the Wesson or the Contender? Another concern is that if I went with the Contender I could use the 22 Hornet instead of the 38. I know a lot of this is up to the individual but I thought never having shot this game, I would ask for opinions! Thanks!

If you reload I would use the 22 Hornet.  It is low recoil and very flat shooting.

Actually, if you are going to buy a Contender barrel, please consider the 25-20.  You can use heavier bullets than a Hornet yet still have very mild recoil.

Best of luck and let us know what you decide.

Yours,
