Perfect! Try H4350, 40.5 to 41.5. Jam them 0.020". An alternative is IMR 4007 but it burns faster so cut down to 38.5 +/-. Some use Varget but I think it is too fast. The 130 Bullet is about perfect.
I too have an F=Class Panda with a Brux 30" 1 in 8. It works great at 600 and I have used it successfully at 1000.

I forgot to mention, I point them with a Whidden Pointer and Moly them.

I have had 4 / 6.5 x 47 barrels over the years. It has been my experience that with 130gr. projectiles that your particular barrel will either LOVE H4350 or RL-15, rarely both on the same barrel. Try the H4350 first, however, if that does not work to your satisfaction, try 37.0-38.0 grs. of RL-15. I have tried numerous powders over the years and the 2 that stand out head and shoulders above the rest are H4350 and RL-15. My 6.5 x 47 that I presently have shoots 130 Berger VLD's with 37.5grs of RL-15. I have shot a 1.25" group at 600 yards with that load. Now I know it won't do that ALL the time>>>but it does show what that round is capable of with RL-15. I had 2 other barrels that would NOT shoot anything BUT H4350. Then I had 1 that preferred VV N550, which is another excellent powder for that round. However, it has a great tendency to burn throats out in short order. I won't use that powder again!
I tried it once or twice>>>>it is good but not in the same league as RL-15 or H4350.. These 2 powders have been proven over and over again by many, many shooters..
I could never get the consistency with RL15 that I could with Varget, in two different 6.5x47's. I did the OCW test on both rifles and my best loads were 37.3 and 37.5 gr. behind a 130 Berger VLD jammed .010. Same load as flamethrower. Several very successful shooters told me the same. Hope this helps, YMMV.
38.0 grains of Varget gets me 2875 fps from a 25" barrel. 130 Berger VLD moly coated with CCI-450 primers . Seated .015 in. Great load that has flattened a few coyotes.

2850 to 2860 & .140, no turn neck.
The new RL16 might just be ideal with that 30" tube your running.
