80 gr Bergers in Dasher load help

I was thinking of trying the 80 gr Berger in my Dasher. Seems there are lots of load data for the 105's etc. on the form, but, I could not find anything for the 80's. I have Varget & was thinking of using that. Would someone care to share their loads? PM welcome, thank you
 
My 8-twist 4-groove Shilen likes the 80gr FB Varmints. I use H322, BLC-(2), 8208 XBR, and Varget (I'm almost out so that's why I tried the others), with CCI 450s. It REALLY likes all of them. I use a Harrels Premium so work in clicks, but I'm right at the starting loads from Hodgdon's manual. Go to their website for specifics.

I wasted 200 rounds trying to get the rifle to shoot 87gr V-max, but no joy. Switched to the FB's and I'm now a happy camper.

Mine is a straight 6br 12twist with 80gr bergers and Fowlers shoot in 1s and 2s consistently with 32gr Varget Jammed hard with a lot of neck tension

Hodgdon has load data for 70grn and 90grn bullets. Pick the same powder for the 70grn & the 90grn than split the difference for the 80grn bullets.
