20" 6.5 Creedmoor load data needed

Those of you shooting a short barreled 6.5 Creedmoor, what is your best load data?

Barrel will be a Proof Research Sendero, carbon wrapped, bolt gun. Had great success with the 25" Bartlien with IMR 4451 and H-4350 140 grain bullets

Gun will be for hunting and LR Steel, 1-8 twist
 
My load with a 22" was 43 and 42.7 with 140ELD and a 139 Lapua. I have just switched over to 43grs of RL16.
 
I got a Model 7 with a 21" 8 twist Shilen #3. I just chronographed some RL26 with a 143 ELDX. 47 grs. was mid 2700's FPS and 48 grs was right at 2800 FPS. The 47 grs. shot better around 3/8's and the 48 grs load was right at 5/8".
