Berger's VLD is .617
JLK's 140 is a claimed .630.
The 140 Scenar? Never heard of it, the 139 Scenar though is at .615, I assume that's the bullet you were talking about.
Lapua's 144 grain FMJ they claim to be .636 though they're hard to find.
Sierra's 142 SMK is at .595
Hornady's 140 AMax is .585 and their BTHP 140 is right behind at .580.

That pretty much covers the top 140s that are most commonly used.
