30.30 Contender loads

[PBRACEGUNS]

Just picked up a Contender in 30.30 Win. with the 10" octagon barrel. Leupold base and a 4X early Tasco LER scope.
I was thinking of loading the Nosler BT 125 grain for Whitetail and Hogs.
Anyone got any decent Contender data for the 30.30?
Thanks in advance.

Re: 30.30 Contender loads

I shoot a 30-30 lever gun, so everything I've loaded is RN or FN bullets. I try to keep them in the 150gr range

IMR4320 works well for the 130-150gr bullets, I've used H335 and BLC2 with very good results as well.

For drilling pigs I'd suggest a heavier bullet going slightly slower to aid in penetration. The 170 RN's would be a good combo.
