    Does anyone have a Speers reloading manual 11? I am looking for reloading data for Contender pistol in 30-30 with a 10" barrel. I have the manual 14, and it states in it that the older manuals contain data for the 10" barrel.

    I have a Speer reloading manual for rifle and Pistols number 9 &10, but not number 11. I don’t see anything specific for a 10 inch contender barrel under 30 caliber bullets. Where would it be?

    Thanks guys. This data will help me decide on what load I want to use for hunting. I really appreciate the replies. I will probably try to find some of theses books to keep on hand, as I am new to reloading.

    Long ago I had a 14" 30-30 Contender and shot it a lot, I mean a LOT, and it really liked 748 which was my go to powder for 30-30 rifle also.

    I think that in your shorter barrel 748 may be less efficient and will get along better with faster powders.
