I have used 140 Berger's 2800 fps and 120 grain 3000fps ballistic tips.
Both with h4831 and with amazing accurcy results.
So I thought 130's wouldn't be a problem. Expect my manuals don't Gove any data for 130's
Only 120's and 140's
Wtf?

That's great. If the powder is working for you, there is obviously no need to change.
Quickload shows that a charge of 50.0 grs H4831 will get you in a projected ballpark of 2955 fps with a compressed load @ 105 % density / 97% powder burn /57,300 psi./COL 3.150/ Berger 130 Hunting VLD / 70 deg F.
Just as a comparison, a charge of 53.0 gr of RL-26 will achieve 56883 psi for a MV of 3094 / 100 % density and 100 % burn. I have an Xtra lb of it if you want to try give it a try. Either way , enjoy.
