it's too late this year to mess with loads, but a 129/130 at 3,150fps is something I need to try in the Spring! Absent further info, that falls into the too good to be true category for me. I'd love to have my concerns laid to rest, but at this point I am a skeptic.

129/130 at 3,150 in a 6.5x55 is IMHO way too hot a load!

I would agree. I have shot and loaded for several 6.5x55 rifles for 17 years and that is very hot.

Agree I am pulling those and backing down two grains or more if velocity is over 3,000 by much. Some listed loads for 135 Bergers show 2,875 fps is doable but don't know if that is pressure tested or QL data. R26 like R17 seems too good to be true until real pressure tested data is available then it turns out it produces good velocity but no miracles over other powders. Exceptions being the 243 and 270. I only shot three of that load and no pressure signs but I quit as either the Chrono was off or I am at 68-70,000 psi. probably the latter.
Close to 2,900 fps for 130 grain bullets with MRP and VV N560 is possible so R26 should do it safely too.
