Need load for 30 x 47

Have chambered a Hart 1-13" barrel in 30 x 47 Lapua. I have 135 gr Berger FB's. Can anyone get me started with a suggestion for a load. I know this cartridge is popular in some benchrest matches, but the available load data is pretty scarce. I have seen only one, on ammoguide .com----- 42.2 gr WW 748 considered to be an "average load" by pbgun. Speed was listed as 2642fps Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Quig
 
I had good luck with 40 grains of N-135. 748, benchmark, H4895, Norma20,2 and 8208xbr are also good choices in the range your looking at.

1-13" is a pretty fast twist for 135s, If you cant get them to work well you may want to try a good 150gr FB custom bullet.

I have never shot 135gr bullets or 13 twist barrels but I have two 30x47 Lapua rifles with 17 twist barrels that I have shot a few thousand 118/10 bibs downrange with and had very good success at Groundhog matches out to 500yds all with between 40 and 41.2 Grains of H4198 mostly 40.7.
