Skeeter, according to http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/rifle the starting load for a 130gr bullet, in 30-06, with 3031, is 47 grains.
The thing is though they don't specify whether that's for jacketed (which I think is likely) or for cast lead, or both.

Load data for a 130gr bullet is likely to be very close to that for a 135gr bullet, but data for jacketed bullets can be significantly different that appropriate charges for cast bullets.
