| The 500 S&W is too hot for the Contender frame. That cartridge is an Encore proposition only.

| MGM is currently making me a 30/40 krag barrel. Pressure in the factory 30/40 is in the 40 or 45,000 neighborhood. Another you might ask about is the 9.3x57 as that maybe the same pressure as the 30/40. |

| Hey Kid,
look for a TCR-83 or 87. I got a barrel in 30-378 if you want a good ground squirrel chambering.

H&R/NEF makes a 500 S&W rifle http://www.hr1871.com/Firearms/Rifles/youth.asp that sells for less than what T/C asks for an Encore barrel. |
