[wildman]

What would be a good deer load for this cartridge,out of a T/C contender 12 inch barrel ?

My 730 shoots great with all the mid range powders....mine might have a slight liking for i4895. 748 is also a great choice a cross many bullet weights. I've shot from the 120 all the way to 162s and the darn thing is phenomenal. Sierra used to make a 130 ss pistol bullet that was awesome but no more....JD is right...the 120 should serve well without too much kick.

Here's a pic of a load with 120 Nosler SBBT.
Keep in mind this could most likely be closed up with somebody who knows how to shoot a pistol.

The most accurate load I ever shot from my 7-30 was with Varget, around .25" at 100 yards.
The muzzle flash was incredible.
