Any good loads for 7-30 Waters in 10" Contender?

I just bought a TC factory barrel, 10" in 7-30 Waters. I have some factory Federal 120 gn. stuff to shoot for brass. I'd like to work up a load for deer this fall, using the 120 gn. Nosler BT. Any ideas on good powders to start with? I'd like to stay away from ball powders to keep my temp. sensitivity to a minimum if possible. Thanks for any advice.

Hi Patrick,
Check out this article on the 10" 7-30,

I haven't tried the H-322 load in mine yet but the 748/120BT load shoots very well, I know alot of people will tell ya to stay away from the 10" but with the 120grs. mine is only 2-300fps behind my 14" 6.5JDJ.
