A lot of reading on Bellm’s site. Some of it talks about barrel stubs, but without detail. He goes in to great detail about pressure and cartridges for the contender, and even shows one that was a stub project. Most of his work seems to be with rimmed wildcats based on 444, 30-30, 357 cases. The photo I saw tells me that wall thickness must be a combination of both the donor barrel wall and the stub wall added together.
A perusal through a site that was linked from Saubier has math equations for calculating pressure, that are beyond my comprehension. And for whatever reason, Saubier will not let me post replies, ask questions, or really do anything that I couldn’t do before I registered.
Reeder might do the job if I wanted to send it to him, but I’m inclined to think these guys wouldn’t discuss this issue over the phone, it’s taking time away from business and losing potential work. Kinda like walking into the local car repair shop and picking their brain about what’s wrong with your car.
When you read Bellm’s info, he sounds like he’s done a lot of these, David White as well, there must be people out there with these barrels. Or somebody who has done it on their own. I can’t be the only garage gunsmith with this idea.
Gemihur, you and I may be the only 2 people on the planet currently interested in this.

Rawhide,
Sunny is right. Sometimes you've gotta pick your battles.
I try to be constructive with my time and generally stick to what works for me.
I expand my horizons whenever possible but know when to pause and reflect.
I do wish you great success in your endeavors.
Sunny's insinuated advice is that of a sage, I assure you.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Rawhide,
Look up member 48473 and view his posts here
He lives about 100 miles SW of me in Davenport, VA
Don't know his eagerness to share but he recently got out of a long running custom gunsmithing business (building custom contender and encore barrels)
I've long followed his posts on other forums and saw a lot of his ingenious work
If I were gonna do what I believe you intend to, I'd pick his brain, if possible
Good Luck,
Jimmy
