30-06 and RL 15
I have some 130 gr hornadys, RL 15, and a lot of 30-06 brass, but my Lee manual doesn't give me any loads for that combination. Does anyone here have any recipes for those components? I appreciate any information. Thanks, Joe

stick that 130 grain bullet in front of 55 grains of RL15 and it'll scoot out the barrel over 3,000'/sec.

You might even work up to 58 grains and 3,300'/sec

Check out several different reloading manuals. I try to have one from each manufacture that I use for load comparison. It gets expensive but it is good insurance.

you can use N140 data if the manual has it. I used RL15 data for N140 with 125gr NBT's. They are side by side or very close on my burn charts.

this is better

It's for 125 grain but will do for 130 as well.

Very accurate bullet out of my BRNO under 50gr of XMR 2015. Haven't shot anything with it yet but if it acts like it's non canelured, non interlocked brothers in 6, 6.5 and 7mm it will be very good for up to medium sized deer.
