Could anyone provide me a good link, source or data for 130 or 140 gr Berger VLD?
Internet search isn't turning up much...

I'd totally avoid that VLD chit.
To touchie for seating depth.
Just load up on 140g Berger Hybrids and VV550.
Start at 39.5 and work up.
The CCI-450 is a good match to light it with.
Out to 1000 yards nothing will be safe
Thank me later.

Here is a little data that I have
130 swift scirroco- 38.5 h4350, very good groups but a little slow at 2720fps
130 swift scirroco-38.3 Re-15, great groups at 2920 fps
130 Berger-41.0 H4350, 3/8 at 100, never chronographed those load.
I have a lot pf other info for the 127 Barmes LRX and 120 Amaxs, let me know if you need any 120 loads.

I am shooting 139 Scenars at 2650 out of a 20" barrel. CCI small rifle magnums and 41.5 grs of H4350. N540 will give you the best velocity but not always the best accuracy. H4350 has shot well at the upper end of the charge in all of the 10 or 15 6.5x47 that I have done load development for.

In my match gun 40.8 gr. of H4350 with the 130's in the lands about .008 has worked great this year. After the last match we had a little egg match at 600yds. I managed to bust two eggs with two shots with that load.
Also I have been running the 205 GMM for primers. For me I have been getting better groups with them over the 450's.

There's some 6x47 data here, but you'll have to pick it out as it's mixed in with .260 and 6.5 CM. John
