Welcome! The above link is from the Weatherby site. It looks like you have some good loads already and I personally limit my self to 400 yards. Until I had cataract surgery my limit was 200 and I still struggled to see prairie dogs!

Tried the us869 with good results in my accumark with 140’s. My ultralight shot them goos but tried the retumbo 156 bergers 81 grains and that particular rifle preferred that load.

What was your accuracy and velocity with this load.  That particular bullet has phenomenal potential if launched fast and can hit where aimed.

Curious what your COL is with the 142s.  I am working on a load with 70 gr H1000 behind 142 ABLR. Seems to be spraying some.  Read that the Nosler like more jump.  Set COL to 3.55 from 3.6.  Any advice would be great.
