Start with 34.0 of WW 748 and work up in 1/2 grain increments. One of the best bullets for your Contender in the 30/30 is the Hornady 130 grain spirepoint, #3020. It's a bit on the light side for 308 and 30/06 rifles, but does an admirable job on smaller deer and antelope in the shorter barrels. You can also use BLC2 if you have some; it is close to 748 and really shoots well.
