There is a reason my .257 Roberts quickly became my favorite rifle. At my hunting altitudes there isn't anything I do inside 400 yards that it can't handle well. With a 110g AB @ 3163fps it maintains over 2300fps and 1300fpe at 500 yards.

My first thought as well; not sure why the 140 GR bullet matters. A 115 NPT or NBT will git er done.

Another vote for the .257 Roberts. 100 NPT @ 3050fps or 110 NAB @ 2950fps. Works for me.

My pick would be a 7-08, but I've had great results with a .257 Bob using factory Rem ammo with 117 round nose at or under your ranges.
