Use the Hodgdon manual on-line.  None of the loads you listed are gonna hurt your contender.  You'll be cracking brass and having a hard time opening the action long before you hurt anything.

Bullet maker manuals have data FOR THEIR BULLETS ONLY so if using that brand of bullet feel safe using that data. If using some other bullet that data might not be the best choice. There really is a difference in the pressure levels due to some bullets.

So if you find one bullet maker saying it's OK to use two grains more powder with their bullet than some other bullet maker says is OK with their bullets DO NOT use the higher powder charge with the bullet brand listing the lower charge.

Case and primer brand also play into the equation.
