"best" 300 yard target cartridge for Contender carbine ???

[Siggy-06]

I believe you can get a barrel in .243 as well. That’d be good at 300 yards no problem.

Well, I just paid off the..

Super 16 45-70 barrel for my Contender collection.

Have two 21-inch barrel one, 30-30 and the second is .223, so it GOING to be INTERESTING come this fall.

Using the 45-70 for black bear hunting, the 30/30 for deer and the .223 for coyote through the year.

Wow. 12 year old thread. I am amazed. And I dont't think the OP is going to care at this point, he hasn't posted anything in over 4 years.
