256 win in Contender

shooterbob · March 4, 2014, 06:03 PM

Was wondering if anyone shoots 256 win in a 10 in contender? I am looking for a close to max load for data only. I have some 256 ammo I bought and its loaded with 15.8 grns or 4198. I show that to be over max in a Hawkeye single shot, but I didn't see anything for contender. I am pretty sure this was loaded for a marlin 62. Does the Hawkeye and contender frame handle about the same pressures?
Thanks
Stacy
