140 Berger Load Help

[Boom]

Trying to find a good starting place for a new build 6.5CM: Here's what I have:

140 Berger VLD Hunters and 140 VLD's Targets
H4350
F210 or CCI250's
Lapua or ADG Brass
Any suggestions on starting loads, in particular how far to set these particular bullets off? Running out of a 26" Bartlein

Thanks for any help!

I load the VLDH in Hornady brass. Around 41-41.5gr. of H4350 and CCI250's. I'll have to check length, but pretty sure these worked best for us at around 2.850. Not sure how this will translate into the Lapua or ADG brass. Tried running them faster and longer, but this worked best. Hope this helps.

The ADG brass has less internal space and will need to start low and work up. I find I reach Max Velocity before max powder charge. It is fine brass for the 6.5 CM.
