My Whispers
Hey guys, I am new here, just found the forum recently. I got a couple 300's. The first one I bought is a 14 inch factory TC contender barrel. It has 300 Whisper marked on the barrel. I don't think they can mark them as 300 Whisper anymore. I got a die set with the barrel, RCBS, also marked 300 Whisper. It has a silver Bushnell Trophy 2x6 scope on it. It is probably the most accurate factory pistol barrel that I own. I have numerous groups in different bullet weights that are 3 and 5 shot groups at 100 yds that are less than an inch. This barrel loves Nosler BT's, 125's, 150's, 165's you name it. I have one 3 shot group with the 165's, and AA1680 that measures .770 at a distance of 175 yds.
The second barrel is a VVCG barrel. 16.5 inches long, 1 inch full bull, stepped back to fit the Contender frame, 1:8 inch twist. I have a Vari-x II 3x9x40 on it. I have not shot it that much, but I had bought a box of each of the bullet weights(125, 150, 220) Corbon offers and I tried them all in it, plus my handloads. It seems to like anything I put in it. Some do a little better than others, but they all shoot well from it. It will just pack the 220's on top of one another. Does anyone know what powder is in the Corbon 220's? I saved one to take apart, just haven't done it yet.
