Title: contender.223 rem pistol
Post by: billzz on May 23, 2014, 10:32:07 PM

I recently started a long range pistol project.
I have a early contender frame and grip that I put a MGM 16.5 inch bull bbl and then a Witt machine works muzzle brake
and I am in the process of making a bench rest forend
the heavy bbl combined with the mild 223 round should make it so I can watch the bullet impacts.
I am also installing a 20x vortex scope.
pics soon.

Should be a nice gun.  Do you shoot IHMSA silhouette?

no  i dont compete in anything these days (no time)
i just like shooting the smallest groups i can and i like hitting long distance clangers.
so i do something like this and then develop loads for it
then just play around
i might use it on p-dogs some time.

i have .357mag
.22lr
and the .223rem barrels for this.
but it always wears that new custom MGM barrel these days
i am upgrading the scope to a viper vortex.
 the one it is wearing in the photos gets too fuzzy at high magnification.

Do those bolt on muzzle brakes damage the barrel at all? I've considered putting  one on my rifle but was always scared that if/when I took it off the barrel would be all marred up.
