Need load data for the 6.5/284

I have a 6.5/284 with a 28inch krieger barrel 1-8 tw. I have on hand lapua brass, H4831sc and Fed GM 210 M primers. I will be shooting Berger 140's. I am hoping to get somewhere around 2950fps. I'm hoping someone has a pet load with the same ingredients listed above that they can share with me. I will start a little lower and work my way up.
 
I shoot a Rock Creek 1 in 8 twist, medium Palma contour that has been melonited. My load is 50.0 Grains of the powder you mention and using the same brass and primers. However, I am not using the Bergers, but rather the Hornady 140 BTHP's or the 142 SMK's. Please note that what is safe in my rifle may not be in yours. I seat out to contact and keep about .004" of clearance in the turned necks.

Good luck and good shooting.
 
I shoot 51.0 grains of H4831sc, Fed 210M, 140 Berger, and it goes 2945.Your milage may vary.
 
Thanks for the info. I was planing on starting at 50grns and working my way up until I notice pressure signs. My Krieger barrel is a medium Palma mated to a Stiller Tac 300 action.
