I need some loads with berger 130 otm and h4350 , Lapua brass 20 inch barrel. I've been running hybrid target 140 with really good luck but I entered a PRS match and I think the 130 s would be more suited for my barrel length I'm running. ​​​​​​

For my 20" Tikka CTR I was using 44gr H4350 with the Berger 130 OTM. No pressure issues and I probably could have gone higher but never did. The load was running just over 2700 fps.
 
For my 20" Tikka CTR I am using 42.5 gn (ADI 2209 equivalent to H4350) with the Berger AR 130gn OTM getting 2604 fps, SD 9ft. Only had it a short while and the longest I have taken it is 622m (required 5.2 mil elevation) in >10mph full value (0900hrs) wind which required 1.4 mil windage. Using lapua Rem 260 Brass (3 times fired) with Federal Premium Large Rifle Primers, I trust this is of assistance to you.
 
Definately a better idea to run the 130 over 140 in a shorter barrel . Varget may
be a better choice in short barrels although I run H 4350 with both as that's what I have a lot
of . The flatter trajectory is desirable in PRS too , the better wind numbers of the
140 don't show until shooting long .
