I haven't played with 130's in mine but if you go to barnes website and check their "technical" heading you can get to all their best loads for any given caliber/bullet wt. It might be a good place to start. I would also say that the 4350's and 4831's would be a good place to start and see what your gun likes.

You might check Hodgdon's web site to see if there are any youth loads listed for 130 gr.

I loaded some hornady 130grain GR SP's this week end! I found them pretty unacurate... I loaded them with somchem S365 and S385 and got the following. S365, 71grains = 3224 ft/s: 72grains = 3291 ft/sec: 73grains 3345 ft/s: 74 grains 3378 ft/s. I stopped at 74 as i was no longer getting a good ft/s per grain increase in speed. I have not quote the S385 loads as they were a disaster and not worth mentioning. if want the details, let me know. the speeds quoted are an average of 5 rounds. Noteworthy is the fact that the 72 grain load produced speeds within 23 ft/s of each other. If you let me know what brand of propelent you are using, i can check the comparison charts for you.
