I was wondering if anyone has used the 160 grain ftx hornady bullets ( the flex tip bullets they use in the leverevolution ammo) for use in a contender with a 23 inch 30-30 barrel and what powder did you use? I have some hodgdon 322 powder that I loaded some nosler 125 grain ballistic tip bullets with and would like to use that powder with these bullets if anyone has a safe recipe to use. If I have to go with a different powder I will probably try hodgdon 4895. Of course I can't find anything with the velocity the factory ammo lists for this bullet. I have done a little reloading and will appreciate any advice you are willing to give. Thanks Kevin
