I haven't worked up any handloads yet, but have been shooting Hornady 325gr. FTX Leverevolution factory rounds. When I first got it I had some 300gr. JHP "1886 safe" loads, but after shooting them all, I have been told they are too hot for the Contender.What load do you shoot in your 45-70,
Can't say I noticed much difference in recoil between the two.
I've since gotten a Lyman 335gr. mold, and will work up some cast bullet loads for most of the Contender's uses.
