Tell us specifically what bullet you want to focus on and I'm certain we can generate some data to get you going.
Code:
Cartridge : 6.5 mm Rock (WSM)
Bullet : .264, 130, Nosler AccuBond 56902
Useable Case Capaci: 72.054 grain H2O = 4.678 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.860 inch = 72.64 mm
Barrel Length : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm
Powder : Hodgdon Retumbo
Predicted data by increasing and decreasing the given charge,
incremented in steps of 2.0% of nominal charge.

These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !
43 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.

I've had very good success with Retumbo and 140 gr. bullets in my 6.5-300 WSM.

Yes it could since the only change in dimension is the neck size. It's nothing more then a 300 WSM necked down, it could also be chambered in a 270 WSM as well.

Both MagPro and R25 shoot well in my 6.5 WSM. I use 270 WSM brass to neck down. Best accuracy combined with velocity in the 130 weight bullet was with the Swift Sirocco and 140 was the Berger hunting VLD.
