45/70 loads for 16" T/C Contender, Not Encore

[FreeNHim]

I've been lurking for a while, trying to find favorite/ suggested loads for the 45/70 in a T/C Contender Super 16" with muzzle tamer.  From what I can tell the MAX pressure loadings would be the 28000CPU category.  I'm most interested in accuracy and hope to use it for PA deer/ bear, maybe someday a hog hunt.  Any suggestions as to 300- 405 bullet loads?  I will most likely use jacketed bullets to start with.  Used to loading for my Ruger SRH 44 mag 21 grains of 2400/ 240 XTP/ Federal cases.  Thanks in advance for any of your favorite loads and/or advice.   Jim

Welcome to GBO!! Here's a thread from the Encore/Contender forum on the same topic.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the link.  That's one area I did not look.  I guess I need to refine my question.  What loads have folks found to be accurate in a 16" T/C Contender without exceeding recommended pressure specs?  I know that Garrett offers
 only one load for the Contender, and I've seen other sites that do not clarify the distinction between the Encore and Contender loads.  Any known safe loads that do do not press the pressure envelope are what I am looking for.

Any suggested links or input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and best regards,

Jim
