Default Wall-Hanging Weight Limit

I want to hang a 130lb object from the wall. It's 30x30, so it'll only
hit 2 studs, but I can get 8 cabinet screws in there. Each screw is
worth +50lbs, but I'm not sure about the two studs holding that kind of
load.


How far out from the wall does it project? If the projection is
minimal, then the bending moment on the studs will be small.
