6.5BR loads?

Looking for 6.5BR/IMP bolt gun load data with 130gr bullets. Any data from 120gr to 140gr would be helpful. Preferably in 26in barrel length or longer.

I've been loading 6.5x47Lapua, but after looking at 30BR data it seems the smaller case would be be more efficient, especially from 300 to 600 yards with mid-weight bullets.

Thanks

I've been using the load data on Hodgdon's website with good results. I'm running a Tikka chambered in a 6.5br and have been using Lapua 108 Scenar and Berger 140 Vld.

25" 8 twist Mullerworks barrel
108 Scenars @ 2940 fps
140 Vlds @ 2550 fps, still tweaking this load
