Any solid recommendations in factory loads for 6mm variants ?...I know 140's are the favorites of the 1000 yd guys, I was hoping to stay 120-130 grain.

I'm going to have to go out on a limb and guess that you meant 6.5mm variants, correct? I did not know there are 140 grain 6mm bullets available. In fact, the heaviest grain 6mm bullet I could find was 115 grain.
With that being said, I would model the 6.5 Creedmor loads (at 140 grains) that you can pick up with Prime Ammunition or even Hornady. Matching the Hornady 6.5 Creedmor load is pretty easy, its about 41.5 grains of H4350. As for anything around the 120 grain level, I would switch to Varget. Just try to stick to the double based powders.
Hope this helps.
Yes NevadaZ, 6.5 variants...fingers were faster than my brain. Reviews are good on the Prime & Copper Creek, but still deciding on bullet.
