Guys I have a new to me 6.5-06. It is a 700 with a 24", # 3 Douglass barrel. I acquired about 400 Swift 130 gr. bullets. I plan to try these for powder experimentation then switch over to a Barnes 130 gr. TSX for hunting (just my personal preference). What powders have worked for you guys with 130 gr. bullets?

Thanks

49.0 of RL-22 with Hornady 129 gives 1/2" groups in my 1948 FN. Mild load that runs little over 2800fps. I am very pleased

Forgot to ask. What is your twist? My other Montana action w/1-8 twist loves 140SST'S with
51.6 H4831

I'd go with 52 grains of AA4350. That should work nicely. Normal reminder to work up. IMR 4350 should be about the same.
