Interested to hear where you got the load from ,loads change over time for various reasons.
In my old Speer reloading manual No. 12 they do not give a load fo rViht 140 only Viht 135 for .308 and the 2202.
Serria Infinity 5th edition suggest Viht 140 starting at 39.9 grains, 41.5grains, 43.1grains and 44.7grains max to give respective speeds of 2500fps, 2600fps, 2700fps and 2800fps. This from a 22" barrel with a 1in 10" twist. However different rifles respond differently to different cartridges and small variations can make largs differences to accuracy.
I do not know how much experience you have in reloading but even if you are familiar with the following points it may guide others who aren't.
To be safe I would strongly suggest that:-
you do not exceed these loadings
You should not use magnum primers unless specifically stated in the loading table
You start at the lowest load and work upwards checking for pressure signs
Even if no pressure signs do not exceed the maximum load.
Do not crimp the bullet unless the bullet has a cannelure, the 2202 does not and this can open the pattern or grouping by up to 40%
In .308 do not crimp the bullet even if it does have a cannelure unless using a tubular magazine.
You can do all these things if you wish but most folk only have one set of hands and eyes and want to live to a ripe old age with them intact!
Serria reccommend that their "accuracy" load is 43 .1 grains Vhit 140 giving 2700fps and 2428ft lbs energy whilst their "hunting" load is using IMR 3031 powder 43.8 grains giving 2900fps and 2801ft lbs energy.
Hope this is of assistance
Stay lucky
