.260 Rem/ 140gr Berger BLD hunting

Anyone have any load data for the .260 rem using 140gr Berger VLD hunting bullets? Will be trying these in a remington model 7. I have IMR4831,4895,4350, and hVarget. Any data will be appreciated.
 
If you can get your hands on it, there is good data in Berger's manual. Pay special attention to seating depth. We shoot 130s in my son's 260. It shoots like a laser with them jammed hard but opens up to softball sized seated deeper in the case.
 
I found my node at 43.5gr of H4350 with 140gr Berger hunting VLD's. I'm using Rem brass and CCI BR 2 primers. Velocity is 2,830. I can run them a little hotter but they shoot great out to 600yds.
 
My load is 42.0 H4350, Fed 210match, and Lapua brass, .010 Jammed. IMR 4350 should be close.
 
Varget is super accurate in my rifle. Look around 38grs with 140's. It will be a little slower be accurate. Let us know how it goes.
 
H-4350 42.5gr fed 210m 20th off 2855fps. shoots 2 inch 10 round groups at 500yards. have gone up to 44gr but really hard on brass in my gun! Good luck.
 
i am thinking about buying a reamer for a 260 rem builded i have a 6 br for up to 600 yds was think about the 260 out to a 1000yds what do you guys think about the 260 at a 1000 yds and any thoughts on the reamer any info would be helpful i see lapua came out with a new bullet 136 grain scenar .
