Probably the most awesome .357 caliber. Have taken several deer with a 10" contender
If you are reloading already then it's not a big change from .357 mag or .38 special reloading. I like heavy bullets available but can always use .357 in a pinch. |

You might try the normal reloading area......Armory\Reloading. This here is the Reloading of Precision Rifles so you’re in the smaller subset of reloading enthusiasts

I played with it in the 80s and 90s. 180 gr bullets were the stuff. 4227 for accuracy, h110/296 for velocity. Today I might look at lil gun or other powders. 2-3 MOA at 100 yards from a 10" contender. Never used it hunting, might do that one day.

Found the 158 Rem JHP's came apart in deer, but the 180 Speer was just right. |
