[chuplis]

Hi, I have a 6.5-300 Weatherby magnum would like to use Berger 140gr VLD hunting bullets, could anybody help me with the load data please.

Thank you,

Chuplis, haven't seen any here, but an e-mail to Berger will get you in the ball park. I saw loads for this caliber on WeatherbyNation site also. Thinking about a re-barrel to this caliber for a Mark V I have with a fairly toasted barrel. Good luck

I saw this published in Rifle's Handloader magazine in the December 2016 edition. Not a Berger 140, but it should allow you a safe place to start from. I'll include startin loads for the listed powders... Not my data, please independently validate on your own
