This may help for starting out ...
I have a load for the 7WSM with 160 Accubonds that pretty much duplicates the factory Winchester Supreme CXP3 160 grain Accubonds. I had purchased a box of the 160 Accubond Win Supremes just for fun and found that they shot extremely well in a factory Savage model 16 FCSS. I did my best to duplicate the factory load and this is what I came up with.
The load is 69.5 Gr H1000 (110% load ratio!) with Rem 9 1/2M primers seated to COL of 2.82", same overal length as the factory rounds. (seated way into the case and no where near the lands, probably work in a Remmy mag well)
Chrony said they were going 3021 fps from a 24 inch barrel. (Quickload says 3051 fps - 62.9K psi) Published BC of the Nosler 160 Accubond is 0.531.
You could start a bit low and work up to that load ...

So a drop chart (assuming a 160 grain Accubond - BC 0.531) that matches your 200 yd zero and drops 37.8 at 500 yds looks like this:
.284 160 GR AB SP, 2980 ft/sec at muzzle, 200.0 yd zeroed.

PS, the velocity that matched your drop (assuming a 160 grain Accubond - BC 0.531) is 2980 fps.
