Have 2 different 28N and recently acquired poundage of N565 powder, just can't find good data in starting points. If I just had starting points for the weight classes I can work up.
Also any experience with velocity and/or accuracy issues would be helpful info. I have a 7SS and N565 is magic dust for it.
Brass:
Nosler and ADG
Primer: CCI 250
Bullets:
160 AB
162 ELD-X
168 Berger VLD-H
169 Hammer Hunter
175 Berger Elite Hunter
180 Berger VLD-H
195 Berger Elite Hunter
Thanks.
 
This is the only data that I could find. It's from the Hornady manual and it's only listed as a powder for 150s. Might at least give you somewhere to start, otherwise, I think it's too fast for any of the heavier bullets.

Obvious first option is google until you are blue in the face, based on your cartridge and powder selection I am sure you can come up with some numbers for those bullets.

If I can't find load data for given projectiles or powders I deduce it from other data that I can find, use percentages and calculate based off what you can find. Use other cartridges if you have to.

I'll use your 195 Berger as an example.
So What I can find is a 7 RM will use about 60gr of N565 for that bullet.
So now over to Hodgdon, They show a 7RM will use 66 gr of H1000 for a 180, a 28 Nos shows that same 180 with 77gr H1000
77/66 = 1.16
60x1.16= 69.6 gr That should be a pretty safe starting point.

When doing this use cases and bullets that are at least close in size.

I use it for my 7SS and it is very good in it. Just looking for some closer comparisons to get started.
Thanks.
