any one have good loads for the contender 35 rem

Welcome to the forum. This should be in the Single Shot Rifle section, so I'll move it there.

I load the .35 Remington, but for a Marlin, not a Contender. However, Speer #11 shows the same data for both Marlins and Contenders. My favourite load is the 200 grain Remington Core-Lokt with 37.5 grains of IMR 3031 powder. You can double check the data at the IMR website.

Marlins need a round nosed of flat point bullet, but you can use a pointed bullet in the Contender. The 180 grain Hornady SSP (Single Shot Pistol) is popular with Contender shooters.

If you're reloading a .35 Remington, here's one article you have to read. Period.
