[QUOTE="41mag, post: 191367, member: 3804"] I have two Contender barrels chambered in AI calibers, (223 & 30-30) and just received a 25-06 AI rifle. My choice on the Contenders was more from looking to get a little better velocity over the parent rounds from the shorter barrels. With the 25-06, I already had the standard round chambered in a BDL which shoots absolutely awesome. I gave it to my daughter year before last for Christmas as we were always fighting over it anyway. I figured that since I was going to get another one I might as well get all I could from it. I planned on shooting nothing lighter than the 110gr bullet and possibly up to the 142gr Wildcat. I had a 28" 1-9 Broughton 5C barrel built and will hopefully get a few rounds through it this weekend. My main reason for going with the AI version on this one was to try and get longer case life and the added powder capacity for the bigger bullets. Hopefully it will allow me to run just a tad slower powders and still run at some good top end velocities even with the heavier bullets. Besides I like the look of those sharp shouldered cases.
