while I don't think it would hurt I run a just under max load on the first fireing, the max load for a 140 is 85.5 gr of H-1000, I'd run 84-85 gr. you'll still more than outrun a 7 mag, then after those rounds are fireformed I'd find a max for your rifle, I can run 86 gr of H-1000 behind a 140 ballistic tip, speeds are off the charts but brass life is short.
Neck the brass to a crush fit in your chamber, anneal after the first fireing. though it has an impressive trajectory, whats more amazing is the games reaction to a solid hit, they just melt, like a wet dishrag.
only folks who have witnessed that kind of energy transfer can believe this, but as time goes on you will have no complaints.
