Oh me, that was fun I have not got out my books for so long.  Ok this is from Hornady Handbook Starting load for the 200 gr RN Bullet using H4895 is 34.3 gr using a Remington case with a Federal 210 Primer Max C.O.L. (Cart.over all length) is 1.920. Max load for this is 39.0 gr. Work up, look for case bulging & primer flowing. Be carefull.

Need min & max loads for a henry rifle in 4570 cal using 3031 powder 350 lfn bullet &405 lfn bullett

Use any data listed for Marlin 1895 and you should be safe as long as you follow safe reloading practices (I can not give you more information as liability is so transient these days) Lyman reloading manual for cast bullets is a good source, Most all reloading manuals have 3 classifications for the wonderful old cartridge, 1871 Trap door, Marlin 1895, Ruger #1 and bolt actions. I have used all the types listed, take my word for it approach max with trepidation and use only as a last ditch effort, 1895 max loads are brutal recoil, Ruger #1 max loads are retina ripping mind numbing and a concussion waiting for you to snap the cap on.

Rifle manual for 50 cal.black powder rifle tradition mod.timber ridge 209

A load for a 50 caliber rifle calls for 90 grains of FFG black powder or 90 grains of Pyrodex RS (maximum, start with a lighter load, and work your way to a good, accurate loading).

I'm not understanding the rest of your question.

What is the best velocity for 155.5 hybrid Berger bullet, using a target rifle, 308 cal. Am powder tuning at this time and would like some pointers. i.e. where to start, what powder grains with 8208 ADI...

It looks like your average velocities with this grain of bullet are anywhere from 2400 to 2900 feet per second. As far as the powder goes in between 39.0 to 43.0 grains is where i would start testing my hand loads.

What types of ammo can I use in a .35 Remington rifle?

If the powder burn rate is incorrect, you can pull case heads off in a Rem auto.... bolt tries to open too soon..using IMR 4350. the pressure curve is not right, too much gas pressure when the bullet passed the ports. Same loads shoot perfectly in a bolt gun, very accurate, actually.

If you are going to reload, I'd stay with powders in the burn range of 4064 or 4895, single-base stick powders, faster than 4350. Bullets should be the lighter range.. perhaps 150 or 180 grains. With the faster powders, the pressure curve should be correct.
Honestly..... give some thought to a plain old yellow/green box of Rem 200gr Cor-Lokts... generally available off the shelf and should do the job fine. Sometimes we get carried away with our reloading efforts when there is an inexpensive box of factory ammo that will do the job, especially if it's for a non-reloader who needs advise.
lso, the semi-auto and the pump type centerfires require the use of SMALL BASE reloading dies to assure proper chambering. Sometimes, regular FL dies will not size the case down far enough for reliable feeding.
