Worth noting as far as handloading the 130 Barnes ttsx in this 30/06-

Barnes load data lists H414 start load as 61 gr and max as 66 grains. When I got to 64 my bolt handle stuck but good, and the primer pocket was 20% oversized and the primer was GONE. Gave myself my first scope eye, headache for the last two days. WTH? Went to the other manuals and they hover around 60 grains MAXIMUM for their brand 125 grain bullets. I should have cross referenced BEFORE I trusted Barnes data. May have contributed to my poor shooting. Got bit pretty good.
I ended up using RL15 with higher velocity and lower pressure.

Be careful reloading, don't trust everything you read, even from the manufacturers.

Way off topic now, but who doesn't like pretty wood on any rifle? It's a keeper.
