About guns: I have a Contender (bought it in 17 HMR caliber) with a 300 Whisper barrel, but haven't shot it yet because I've only just now started trying to load the caliber. The rifle has a very good trigger, and once I finally get some loads worked up for it, I'll post them here. BTW the Whisper barrel is a stainless TC barrel in 1:10 twist, so I am pretty much restricted to loads in the below-200 grain bullet area. This is OK because I really do not want to pay the outrageous price of the 240 grain Sierra bullets that are used for subsonic loads. I do have some Lapua Scenar 185 grain bullets that I am going to try working up loads for. I have seen some loads using this bullet on other websites so i will start there. Have a good day.
