Retumbo should be in the right burn rate range. Try Hogdon's website for specific load data. Berger bullets have long bearing surfaces, so your max load may turn out to be a bit short of some other bullets even if the velocity is not materially different, but they have an excellent reputation for accuracy.

Email the Berger company. Tell them the caliber and bullet you want to use and they will do a full ballistic chart up for you. I did it for my Weatherby .30-378. I use the Retumbo powder with the 168 gr. bullet. Hope that helps.
