    I don't know if it will help, but I posted some .308 loads on Gunloads data base for 150 & 165 Sierra SBT's. They have been used in bolt and lever actions, not semi-auto. FWIW, similar loads in -06 worked up in bolt actions are good shooters in my Garand with the same bullets. I'd be looking at IMR3031 & 4064 to start with anyway, and they are within the burning rate range that will allow proper functioning in your action without damage.
