Could someone give me a powder load range for XBR 8208, Varget, and RL 15 from quickload for a bolt action rifle, somewhat short throated.

I can only load the 77's to 2.29x, and the 75's COL is in the 3.42-3.44 range. My loading manuals show data for service rifles/AR's. I want a safe load for my bolt action with an 8 twist.

Yes, I understand all precautions apply, start low and work up. I have checked online data, and based on my limited testing, 23.2 gr 8208 XBR is likely close to max in my rifle. I haven't opened/tested the 70 RDF's ===> yet. Thanks.
