204R for a TC Contender

[Steve Fassman]

Dies anyone make custom 14"barrels for the original TC Contender in 204R? If so, what loading data is optimal for that length? Thanks.

Might try over at 204Rugerdotcom. Lots of load data over there.

Call JD and see if he does that cartridge.

TC makes a nice barrel but it's 23" long

You can have it adjusted to 14" if you'd prefer that length.
Here's mine:

After having shot a bunch of rifle cartridges in short barrels, good rifle length loads work just as well in shorter barrels more times than not.
