In the Encore, I use: http://data.hodgdon.com/cartridge_load.asp
-Look up data for pistols or I use rifle data and the powder I want to use.
--Just start with the minimum and work your way up to find the accurate load.

Here is the manual:
Hodgdon "2008 Annual Reloading Manual" Reloading Manual

Here are the Contender books:

I bought the LYMAN 49TH EDITION reloading manual because it has a section on reloading for the Contender and Encore pistols. I did find it a bit limited on calibers.
