Hodgdon 26 manual for I 4895 with a 140
start 38.0 at 2509
max 40.0 at 2674
out of a 18.5" model 7.
Nosler #6 for I4895 and a 140
37 start at 2612
41 max at 2862
out of a 26" test pipe-- the velocity will not break 2700 or so in your 20in.rem- I've had one of those 20"rems in 7-08. Many moons ago.

Also, check out the powder manufacturers online. I got data for your powder and weight form hodgdon in 30 seconds. They don't always have a similar bullet to yours, but usually they have something to work with.
