I am a long time shooter of Contenders and especially like the G1 version. I recently bought a 30-30AI which with my brass holds 4 grains more powder than a regular 30-30 case. I worked up slowly using Leverevolution powder to 2.5 grains over what is listed as max for the 30-30. Accuracy is awesome, extraction is easy with velocity averaging 2597 fps. Barrel is 21 inches long. Have to say the 30-30 AI is a nice round to load for, case stretching is nothing compared to the 30-30 and I do believe the case does not have as much backthrust as the steeply tapered 30-30 case does. This said with the complete absence of any signs of pressure do I just take it for granted I am good?
