I've had extremely good luck with 142 lrab, 143 eldx , and 127 barnes with retumbo,h1000, and rl 17 all were sub moa out my Christesen arms mesa all of these seem to do best with published max loads
I use N560 with the 140 elite hunter
Lapua brass, F210M primer.
Getting 2,970 fps on a 20" barrel that is just now speeding up.
I don't often hunt in temps above 80 so any temp sensitivity it might have isn't an issue

I had a new 22" proof that I was breaking in for a buddy to use on a stone sheep hunt. H1000 wasnt giving me the accuracy I wanted, neither did N560. The barrel has about 100 rounds on it now and I settled on 58.3 retumbo with the 143 eldx at 2960fps.

Did you try the Staball HD with the 150 ABLR? That's what I am fixing to do with my 6.5-284. Since the shooting world seems to have picked up and left us 6.5-284 people behind, I am left chumming with you 6.5 PRC guys for guidance.....
I did not try Staball HD with the 150 ABLR. I think my charge for the 143 was right at 60.0gr. I would start at 57.0 and work your way up in 0.3 or 0.5 increments with the 150 ABLR and Staball HD. I typically do 0.5 increments. Maybe land somewhere in the 59.0gr area. However there are so many variables from one persons rifle to the next. I can tell you in my experience with Staball HD it acts a lot like Retumbo or H1000. When I say that I mean it seems like you can just stuff the cartridge to be slightly compressed and it never shows pressure signs. The velocity however will tell a different story, so be careful.
I use this load with H1000 in my CA ELR I fat fingered the he, supposed to be gr. for grains... Shooting this group @ 2400' elevation
I haven't tried 4831 yet but I've tried h1000, and RL17 both shoot lights out in my CA Mesa less than .5 inch at 100yds

Why the 140s Lance? I've heard good reports from Litz's material about them. The reason for asking is our deer usually isn't real big & I think the 156 is more than needed. I bought 3 or 4 boxes of 144 LRHT's to try, but the 140's might be better. I'm thinking more speed, expansion, & energy xfer = dead drop. I'll be shooting from my reloading room for about a 325 yard shot. They are usually there, but I'll place some incentive for them. We don't usually see many big bucks, but lately I've been seeing the 2 largest bucks I've seen personally in Arkansas. Since this would be for meat I would probably get a couple of doe 's on doe days.

Main reason, that is what the OP asked about. I have a great load with the 140 Elite in mine.
I have a great load for the 156 Elite and 130 TMK too.

Thanks for the reply
If your looking for speed for whitetail
Maybe the 130 Hybrid OTM Tactical.
I haven't tried them on whitetail yet but they are easy to tune.
Hope this helps.
