Berger Bullet Load Data needed

[tester]

Can anyone give me a safe starting point for 168 gr. Berger VLDs for the 280 Remington. Powder will likely be IMR 4350 or 4831. I have sent a message to the ballistics gurus at Berger but haven't gotten a reply yet. Anyone out here have a pet load with this combo?

If you email berger they will send you data fairly quickly. I got mine in less then 24 hours.

I just use a combination of data found in reloading books and online for bullets of the same weight.

X2 E mail Berger, I was suprised how fast they reply. They will sent you information with tabs across the bottom of the page for all the loads for that caliber.

I ordered mine today, had to ship to a friend in the USA though

I ordered a couple of books and asked for shipment to a buddy in the states since online will not accepted shipping outside US.
I emailed them about it and got an answer today that they will do so by email for the books, but not bullets.
Contact their sales dept.
