Just fired the .30 Bellm barrel I bought specifically for Illinois deer season. First impression is this is going to be a shooter! The guys at the indoor range I went to looked at it like a dog with 3 eyes, but then wanted to try it. I love the reaction you get after they pull the trigger the first time, the big silly grin and the stare at the gun
, the laugh :lol: , then the question, "What is this again and where did you get it?"
I'm using the CNC ammo shooting 130 grain bullets at 2250 fps. Recoil is less than my super redhawk in 44 mag.
Anyone work up handloads for this yet? Once I get some of the packing boxes emptied I'm thinking of getting back into handloading (gave it up over 20 years ago when my Dad passed and I joined the service, but since this is my last duty station might be the time to start again.)
I think I'm going to like this contender thing. :grin:
