Quickload data for 130 ttsx 3006AI H4350?

I can give you a quick idea of what Quickload shows, but as with everything related to reloading, IT'S UP TO YOU TO VERIFY THE SAFETY OF THIS INFORMATION!
QL color-codes the results of a chosen load; white is "under-pressure" (which in some instances can still be dangerous), yellow is "normal" or safe pressures, light purple color is "caution" (slightly above normal pressures), and red is "dangerous". The information QL showed is that H4350 isn't a great choice for this load- you have to get into a compressed load just to get up into the beginning of the "safe" zone, which really limits how much further you can develop it. Varget looks to be much better:
.30-06AI using Barnes 130g TTSX and using a COAL of 3.332" ( and guessing at a barrel length of 22")- 52.6g of Varget is at the lowest point of the "SAFE" range. It shows a muzzle velocity of 2,877 fps, with a case fill ratio of 92%, and a powder-burnt figure of 94%.
The highest charge THAT STAYS IN THE SAFE RANGE is 54.8g of Varget for a MV of 2,993fps.
My personal results from using QL is that the actual velocities of my reloads are slightly lower than what QL predicted, but since I have no way to accurately measure what my actual chamber pressures are, I can live with the slightly lower velocities and know that they're safe.
I hope this helps.

Curious if a more dense powder in the 4350 range like hunter has the same issue????
