BOSS settings for Win 70 in .300 Weatherby?

Hi,
I've got a Win Model 70 classic stainless in .300 Weatherby mag. with the BOSS that we've never shot. Time to to see how it shoots. I'm looking for the suggested BOSS settings for various Weatherby factory loads with 130 to 200 grain bullets. Neither the Browning nor Winchester sites have recommended settings for .300 Weatherby rifles. Anyone know where to find that data? With what they cost I hate to waste more Weatherby shells than are necessary to get this gun shooting.
Thanks!

The BOSS suggested "sweet spot" for .300 Weatherby Mag. is as follows (Data is taken from sporter barrel):
150 grains BOSS setting 3.0
180 grains BOSS setting 7.4
Those are the only grains/settings listed.
Hopefully, this will save you some ammo. I know that when I sighted in my Winchester 70 classic featherweight with the BOSS system, it was grouping so tightly at the recommended "sweet spot" setting for .270 Win, I didn't even bother to experiment with further 'tweaking'. I found their recommendations to be 'spot on' for my featherweight barrel. Have fun sighting in.
I'll post a link or a pic of the actual "Sweet Spots" chart in a little bit.
I can't recall my photo bucket id/pw, so I just posted the pics in an auction.
Here ya go, Buano, just so you can see for yourself...
