Question 30/30 Contender

I just got a TC Contender 30/30 14 inch barrell. Anyone have a suggestion for a whitetail load? At one time bullets by Hornady and Sierra were made for single shot pistols. They were around 130 grains. Any experience with these?

Good Article on the LeveRevolution for Contender

Real Guns - Hornady LeverEvolution Ammunition

The Hornady LeveRevolution ammo shoots well in my 14" Contender.

My concern is with the reduced velocity in the short barrel shooting a rifle bullet. Have you seen performance of the bullet? Is there adequate expansion for a clean kill?

I should have looked at the attachment before replying. Thanks for ther info......
