I like 30&35 grain Berger bullets in mine. Typically use 4227 or 110.

That was my first centerfire rifle back in 1994. I still remember loading those little things with 10.5 grains of W296 and 40gr sierra soft points. Shot like ****, but they all do.

I have loaded for them mainly with H110 powder and 35 or 40 gr vmax bullets. I have had better results with small pistol primers than rifle primers at times. Crimping can be a good idea with 22 Hornet loads as well.

I have used H110, VV110, Win 296 and Lil gun in my 10" contender. Best prairie dog rounds have been Lil gun and rifle primers in mine. Good for prairie dogs to a little over 100 yards.
