Anyone recommend a 25-35 load for 10 inch barrel?
« on: August 20, 2007, 06:28:44 PM »
I just picked up a really nice 10 inch Contender barrel in 25-35 and was hoping someone might be able to recommend a particular hand load.  None of my manuals mentions the Contender...just the Winchester M92.  I have lots of bullets, from 87 grain flat points to 100 grain spitzers.  Thanks.

I've loaded extensively for the .25-35 in my 10" Contender, I even used it to shoot my first 40x40 in IHMSA silhouette years ago.  Some of my most accurate loads:

87 Speer SP....23.0/RL-7..........2303 fps
87 Speer SP....25.0/H322.........2024 fps
87 Speer SP....26.0/IMR3031....2044 fps
117 Horn RN...24.0/IMR3031....1975 fps

While these are below manual maximums, work up from a few grains below.
