My Model Seven has a 20” barrel. I also load for one with an 18.5” barrel. Both shoot 140 grain Accubonds and Partitions very accurately.

I've only been able to get my hands on the hornady lite 120gr sst and the norma 150gr stuff. The 120's will shoot into about a 1 @ 100y and the 150's will least say it was about 8" # 100y. I've drop two does DRT with the 120's neck shots. I do want to try the 139 eld's in it. I can build up a load I know this is just with store bought ammo. I have not tried working up a load yet, as I only use it for hunting and the 120's have done there job on the two I've pulled the trigger on.
