Sure, you can use the loads listed for the 135 with the 140. It's safe to use the loads for one bullet for a slightly lighter bullet of the same caliber, within reason. The same is not true for a heavier bullet. And it is very important that you use loads for like kinds of bullets, i.e., lead/lead, jacketed/jacketed, not lead/jacketed. One precaution, especially for jacketed bullets, is to always start at the min. load and work up. There can be a large difference in hardness for different types of jacketed bullets, and for lead to a lesser extent.
