As others have said on your other thread, I've never owned a 28 Nosler, nor even worked up a load for one. However, QuickLoad does provide some suggestions that will provide a guide for hand loaders.
For a starting load, perhaps going to 90% of case fill would be quite safe. Even a reduction by 5% would be acceptable.
There are other powders that should prove acceptable, such as those suggested by the following projection.
Code:
Cartridge : .28 Nosler
Bullet : .284, 175, Barnes 'TSX' BT 30294
Useable Case Capaci: 85.220 grain H2O = 5.533 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.340 inch = 84.84 mm
Barrel Length : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm
Powder : Hodgdon H1000
Predicted data by increasing and decreasing the given charge,
incremented in steps of 1.0% of nominal charge.
CAUTION: Figures exceed maximum and minimum recommended loads !

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 64250 psi, or 442 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 112 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !
49 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.
