Over the past 30+ years I have owned many Contenders and shot them in competition for over 20 years. I have hunted with Contenders and owned custom built Contenders and I have built Contenders.
If you want to carry a Contender to Africa and all else is OK, the only place you need go for the cartridge / barrel / dies is SSK and the series of cartridges designed by SSK owner JD Jones. No one, and I maean no one has the experiance in big game cartridge design that JD Jones has. JD is the real deal when it comes to Contenders and big game. He has been building custom big bore Contenders for over 30 years.
