Online load data is a good starting point. I use Ram shot hunter for light 110 V-max long range varminting. Accurate mag-pro for 140's. R-26 for 150 and R-33 for 169.5, 175 Retumbo is also good for heavies. I've ladder tested superformance in 120 , 140 , and 150. Really when it comes down to it because I've had and have some rifles with no reloading data that i use a burn rate chart as a guide. Now is a bad time to get most anything. Primers, powder, pills, any AR-part. I can't even find a 26 inch AR-10 barrel in 260 rem to finish a build. I have so much brass that i can't change.

In my friend's Tikka T3 Lite, he's found success with 145 ELDXs over Re-26.

150 accubond over rl23 in a 24" sako. It didn't like 140s but the 150s in the 3100 FPS range where the sweet spot
140gr SST or 150gr SST with RL23. Close to 3,000 fps with the 150gr and to 3,100 with the 140gr.
