Default 300 rum and 185 Berger?

I'm planning on trying these 185's out but none of my reloading manuals list a 185. Should I use 180 or 190 gr load data?

Thanks

Use 190 starting loads and work up in the usual manner.

You're more than likely right but it's what I got.

If you e-mail Berger they will get back to you with load data in a day or two most of the time.

No not yet with 338 rum. Still waiting to burn up all the factory rounds I’ve got. You?
