Hey y'all I tried the search function but couldn't find a answer to my question. I just recently had a 28 Nosler put together on a blueprinted Remington 700 action with a 1:9 twist Christensen Arms carbon barrel. I want to try the 168gr Berger HVLD bullet, but I don't have a Berger loading manual. I have H1000, Retumbo, and Reloader 25 on hand as well as federal 215gm match grade primers. Can someone give me a good place to start? Thanks!
 
I tried h1000 and 168s in mine when I first built it from 76-80gr per Nosler website. My ladder showed a node around 78.5gr. Be safe.
 
Here is the 168 VLD data I received from Berger in 2016.

It started to rain on my before I could drag the chronograph out to verify the es and sd. According to the modified case fired out of my chamber and the Hornady toll I'm at a 17 thousandths jump with the 168 grain Berger HVLD
 
I only loaded 6 rounds total. The first 3 were loaded with 80 grains of Retumbo those only produced a 2" group so I then swapped to H-1000 for the final 3 which produced the "clover leaf". All in all it was a short session due to the weather as well as having my 1 month old son with me.

Text burger they will get right back to you real quick
 
I reloaded with retumbo @ 74 grains, and have a Christensen arms 28 nosler. Did you notice your casings hard to eject.
