Berger 168 grain classic hunter and Retumbo

[spenom]

Does anyone have the information on minimum and maximum loads regarding the 168 grain classic hunter for the 7mm Remington magnum using retumbo? Even better a scan of the Berger reloading manual in regards to this? I am a nosler/hornady guy but have 3 boxes of these kicking around and a few pounds of retumbo as well. I don't want to buy the whole berger book for one page of info I will use for 3 boxes of bullets. That said... If you run this combination what works for you? I am going to run them in my FN Winchester with a 1 in 9.25 twist 26" barrel.

Are we to assume some particular version of Remington Magnum?

I'll have to check my log, but I think I was running 69gr Retumbo with the 168gr classic hunters at book OAL in my 7RM.
