Friends Has anyone developed a 130gr load using the 130gr Sierra match king and StaBal powder? Or 130gr any bullet. Thanks!

I've been dabbling with the 130 gr ELD-M a bit. Haven't quite gotten exactly what I want yet, but close. 43.5 gr of staball @ 2.815" was 2693 fps, SD 5, ES 11. Just not as fast as I would like it. I got a few more batches loaded up to test this week end, will report back. My favorite load with the 130 ELD-M is currently 46.5 gr of superformance @ 2.865", 2785 fps, SD 5, ES 10

Thanks buddy!
Reporting back. Found a few decent loads. Everthing was with 3 shot groups with 6.5 cm, 130 ELD-M, new Nosler brass, CCI LR primers, and Staball 6.5
-44.1 gr @ 2.760", 2750 fps, 5 sd, 10 es. Produced a fantastic group
-43.8 gr @ 2.760", 2723 fps, 7 sd, 13 es.
Another good group
-44.4 gr @ 2.865", 2782 fps, 15 sd, 28 es
That was the hottest I loaded in the long ones and it appeared to be trending in the right direction.
No pressure signs what so ever on any of them. I'll poke around and see what I can find. I do believe the max load I've seen listed is 44.5gr but feel like I could push these a little more. maybe up to 45.5, I really was hoping to get to 2800 fps
