While doing a little shopping, I stumbled across a 21-inch Virgin Valley Contender barrel chambered in .30-40 Krag. I have a weakness for U.S. service rifle cartridges and an even bigger weakness for Contenders, so I was intrigued. I have a couple of questions:
1) Can a Contender action handle a .30-40 Krag? If I remember correctly, back thrust, not chamber pressure, is usually the issue for safety in a Contender. Virgin Valley's site does not list the .30-40 Krag as a usual chambereing for the Contender nor does Bullberry's site.
2) Anyone have any experience with this round, preferably in a Contender?
Thanks for any information.
