7mm RUM question?

I'm loading for a 7mm RUM with 180 gr Berger vld Bullets. The only data I can find from hodgdon is for a 175gr bullet which lists a range from 95.0-102.0. Can anyone give me advice on where to start for the 180gr? It can't be far off from the 175.

Thanks

Since Burger has their manual available for sale you can

A) Go to store and "Check it out"

B) Hope someone pm's a load from it

or

C) Give them a call...maybe they'll be nice and provide you some data on the house.

You don't list what powder you are using, or would like to use.. This would be helpful...
