Using The Correct Ammunition
In The G2 Contender
®
Standard Factory Loaded Cartridges:
The G2 Contender Pistol and Rifle is designed for the use of interchangeable
barrels which are chambered for a variety of factory loaded cartridges. The
proper cartridge for each barrel is clearly marked by its standard industry
designation on the top left side of each barrel. Barrels chambered for stan-
dard cartridges should be used with high quality commercially manufactured
ammunition with a packaging and head stamp designation that corresponds
exactly to the barrel marking.
If you have any questions concerning the
proper ammunition for your G2 Contender, call or write the factory.
Do Not fire the gun!
Custom (Wildcat) Cartridges:
Several G2 Contender barrels are available in custom cartridge
chamberings for those qualified people who are totally experienced
in reloading procedure. The novice should not attempt to use these
cartridges until he or she has developed the required background
and knowledge.
Handload custom ammunition only in accordance with the standards and
guidelines set by component and reloading tool manufacturers. These com-
panies publish reloading manuals which must be read, understood and
adhered to. Use only that data which is published by a reliable source and
thoroughly tested by the component or tool manufacturer. Never exceed the
loads listed for a particular powder, bullet and case combination and never
substitute components for those listed. When using listed data, bear in mind
that production changes affecting ballistic performance can occur at any time
and without our knowledge. If there is ever a question as to the correctness
of a component, write to its manufacturer. Failure to
follow proper procedure can result in injury and/or death to the
shooter or bystanders and damage to property
.
