I have an android app called "Reloading Assistant" which lists the book loads for a huge selection of cartridges and the powders.

Otherwise most of the powder companies and bullet manufacturers have load data on their websites.

If you have any fired brass it would be a good place to start by finding out the cartridge overall length of the chosen bullet shape to see what your rifling distance is. Every different bullet shape will have a different seating depth where it meets the lands. Once you know the cartridge overall length where your bullet touches the rifling, you can then decide on the "jump distance" that you want to load at. Most reloaders give advice of starting at 0.015" to 0.030" short of touching the rifling.

Book data says Hodgdon H4831 powder is a good fit for 280 Rem 140 grain bullets.

Check out the Hodgdon website

Send Berger a email. They are good at returning and answering questions. I use H4831SC and a 168 Berger classic hunter in my 280AI. Shoots good. The Berger Hybrids are very easy to develop a load for. I usually start them 30 thou off and this seems to work. But you could also do the Berger COAL load development. I have never needed to do this when using the Hybrid design.

I have the data you want in an XL file. If you pm me your email I will forward it to you. Tried to upload it here but it was a no go.
