hello target shooters , I have a Winchester m70 stealth rebarreled with a 29 inch stainless steel barrel in a 1 in 8 twist , 6.5 x 55 cal . I want too use the box of 130 norma golden target projectile , I have cci br2 primers , and ar2213sc powder . but can not find a any load info on these projectiles .has any one tried these and can any one give me a starting load so I don't waste them . hopeing too use this rifle in open fclass .

The adi website does show 129grn projectiles ( in a 24" barrel) 44.0 min to 48.5 max. Personally i'd start out at 43.5 and work my way up. Don't forget to be watching for pressure from the start.

thanks Scott , I did see that in the adi book , the norma 130 's are pretty long, longer than any 140's .I am hopeing that they are a goer , because if they are , the owner of this rifle has offered me this rifle with a 308 and a 243 barrel as well, ( all heavy target barrels ) at a mates price . thanks again Scott
