45-70 Contender factory ammo?
« on: November 14, 2012, 05:09:23 PM »
What factory loads would be safe in a G2 Stainless Contender with a 10" ported SSK 45-70 barrel?
I know 'tenders shine best with handloads, but I'm not yet able to set up my loading bench again.

     Anything designated as "trap door" loads are OK for the Contender.  I don't use factory loads, so I'm not really up on what's available, but I think most factory stuff is "trap door".  BTW, just in case, "trap door" simply means that the load is designed to be used safely in old Springfield trap door rifles.  Good Shootin' 8)
