    I'm most likely going to get reinvolved with my Swede, it looks lonely. Question. What have any of you found to be the most reliable weight of bullet in the Swede as far as accuracy goes? I think my 1896 probably doesnt like 140 gr. or higher and it seems to shoot 120 pretty well, but was wondering if the 100 gr. might be better. I wont be shooting it for serious target shooting, just fun, and maybe a whitetail or two someday. What are your experiences with bullet weights for this gun? Brand of bullet is not important, just the weight. Thanks.

    Match Grade Machine will make one as I'm sure would Bullberry. Foxridge is T/C's in house custom shop and I presume they'll do one also.

    As I recall when I had my Contender there were caliber limitations, having to do with the pressure limitations of the basic action lock up. Do to this that brought out a heavy duty version, I believe they call the encore? I don't know which version of the Contender you have? But if you have one of the original ones, the 6.5 Swede barrel might not be available.

    Oops on my part, I just assumed the question was about an Encore, not the Contender. The 6.5 Sweded would be fine for the Encore and probably not offered in the Contender.
