Any of you guys got hands on experience? Found one in 32 mag. Wondering if they have .308 barrels (Like the TC Contender) or are they .311?

I don't know. I had one in .357 Mag. Heavy bugger, particularly in the grip end, but nicely accurate, with good sights. Most dies sets have both expander balls. I'd test both if no one can answer your question. You might PM David Bradshaw, and perhaps he remembers. Betcha it's .308.

If forced to bet I'd bet .308 too.. TC didn't do it for no reason... Don't have it in my possession yet..  |

Stan.... expect Ken is correct to think the Wichita International tip-open single shot would use a .308 groove to handle a .32 H&R Mag. A .308 groove diameter opens the door to slippery rifle bullets.

Turned out to be priced right at the 100% Blue Book price. While it does have a nice 7X AO Burris scope on it, it does not have the original rear sight, box, and paperwork one might expect to see with a 100% gun. Little jewel is pretty much a dedicated 100M metallic silhouette gun. The last club within a days drive for a match just cancelled their entire Hunters Pistol silhouette program as well. I passed.

May take some looking, a 140-165 seated out would be doable for a standing big bore 200 meter gun. Do a search on 30 super slow may turn up some info.

Sandy Heatherington of N.C. was using one as a Big Bore Standing gun in the 1990s, with, I believe, 190 gr. bullets. He was an International class shooter, so ....
