if it is not loaded any hotter than standard 35 rem ammo I can't see a reason why not.

My first thought was to say "sure it's safe", but then I thought that it would be best to ask BuffaloBore themselves.  Like the M336, the Contender will take pressures above the SAAMI level for the cartridge, but it is best to be safe rather than sorry.  Expect recoil to be heavy.......
