I've been tuning up my 14" stainles SSK .309JDJ rechamber (from TC 30-30) since I got it last January.
Friday I took this nice Texas buck, lasered at 134 yards. The 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tip in front of 52.5gr IMR-4350 performed perfectly. The shot entered behind the shoulder, broke the offside shoulder and exited. He took a stumbling step, and fell like a sack of potatoes.
I took some odd looks and teasing from my fellow camp members about taking my Contender into the field, but that didn't last long. :grin: Thanks to everyone on the forum that helped get me going on this cartridge, especially MS Hitman.
