I saw where Saeed had done some reloading but only up to 100 grain bullets. Anyone have any info for projectiles up to 140 grains?

Saw one for 75gr H4831 nosler 120 BT....I haven't loaded for this wildcat and this info is second hand. May try writing Hogdon's. their new Retumbo powder may do well with 140's. also might look at RL25....H870 if you can find any.
