skipperJ, In general it is not a wise practice to interpolate loads from other loads using different components. But, your case, I feel, doesn't fall into the unsafe category. IMX, you can use the listed loads for the 150 gr (not the 130) safely with the 140 gr bullet as long as the bullets are from the same mfg as used in the listed loads. The max for the 140 would probably be a little higher, but since there is no specific data for it, I wouldn't venture trying to find a max, just use the max for the 150 and you should be safe.
