factory reps told me they designed the 30-30 C cartridge with the 125 grain JHP bullet especially for the Contender. Supposedly loaded with a powder for the shorter barrels and with the light 125 grain bullet for the speed. Whether he was just blowing smoke or knew what he was talking about, I have no idea but that load sure worked in a Contender. This was about the time I was developing the 30 GNR and that gave me the idea to run it with that 125 JHP.
