45-70 Contender
Hey guys, I'm looking for some load data for the Combined Technologies 300 gr. Ballistic tip bullet. The only data I can find is from Nosler, and it's designed for lever action rifles (strong action only) it says. Can I use this data for loading for my Contender? I appreciate the help!

I would NOT use rifle loads made for Marlins in a Contender. Use contender loads only; the frames on those are very thin. Or, if you do, you will notice your frame getting thinner on the sides so watch for that. There are lots of load data for Contenders out there; use those.
