I've used 4350, RL 19 and 22, 7828 and H1000. 130's are a little too light in the mag. I load the Speer 130's in my 7-30 Waters and 7mm-08--both with Win. 748. In most of my Rem. Mag. loads, H4831 is the way to go. Put 62-65 grs. under the 150's or 160's, and you should find a sweet load. I can easily beat factory velocity (2950) with the 162 Hornady or Sierra 165 in my 26" Winchester, but never came close in my old 24" Ruger, which loved the 150's (3110). IMHO, 2900 is moving just right.
