The standard Elmer Keith load is hard to beat:
240 gr. LSWC
21.0 gr Alliant 2400
CCI 350 Large Pistol Magnum Primer
R-P Brass
This load is safe in MY Contender, but may not be in yours, so work up to these levels. If you choose to use jacketed bullets, back off quite a bit to around 18. gr. of 2400. Again, work up to this.
I always have liked and used Burris scopes on my Contender, but others are good as well.
Welcome aboard. I noticed your handle; do you work for FedEx?
