[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1714984, member: 78056"] 35 Whelen, I never cease to be amazed at how two nearly identical rifles can shoot so differently. Nearly the exact same set up and one will shoot the lite bullets and the other likes the heavy weights, even with the same twist. I bought a .357 Maximum barrel for my Contender and was warned by several people the they really like the 180 & 200 gr. bullets and not to bother with anything under 158. So being the contrary old fart I was (I'm a contrary older fart now), I immediately tried some 110 and 125 gr bullets... which shot bug holes at 100 yds! I also tried the heavy bullets, which were decent but nothing like the 125's, which were leaving the barrel at 2600 fps! What they did to those poor Tucson jack rabbits probably should have been illegal! Being completely serious, the local vultures knew my truck and used to follow me when I went out bunny killing (it wasn't really hunting), knowing there would soon be a free lunch hanging off the mesquite trees! Oh yum, bunny guts... what a way to make a living! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
