This is a 357 SM carbine built on a Cadet action with a 16 inch barrel. It will do 2150 with a 180 Hornady FBSP and 2020 with a 200 Remington. It gets 1/2 inch groups at 100 and flattened Mr Bambi first time to the piney woods.

I think the pin you were talking about is the brain "child", be nice, of Mike Bellham. WE bought a couple at the first Sun Shoot in Tampa from Mike. Best results were groups of same size.

You do know that the 30-30 in a TC is not a 30-30 in a 94. If reloaded can do about 200 fps better than the rifle in a 14 inch contender and with spire points.
