Ongoing load search for a T/C 7TCU
OK! Been hacking away with my Contender in 7TCU for a short while now. Accuracy with the long free-bore is, shall we say, erratic. 6" at 50 yds. qualifies as erratic I'd say. Occasional shots within 1.5" of each other, probably by accident. Good thing my Palma rifle shoots better than that...

Contender Forend
Wondering about the forend on my Contender for Unlimited. It is a flat-bottom affair. I seem to remember a width criteria but can not find it in the rules on the IHMSA website. Is it less than 2" wide? Is the flat bottom 'contoured' for anatomical body support? Can and will reshape if that is w...

7mmTCU Load Question

Or what ever you are calling the Creedmoor type position (which my back loves). I am seeing numbers for the 7mmTCU loads here that are far dif...

Recoil comparison
Hi Folks, New at this game and have a question regarding recoil. I am currently shooting a Contender 14" .44 magnum/irons/prone. No real problems but it is a handful. One of the 7mms seems to be a good alternative from a trajectory stand point, what is the difference in recoil between a .44 loa...
