308 reloading advice

I have been reloading my 243 Tikka T3 light for the past few years since I bought it & I have had a great amount off success with it on both roe deer & Fox's.:):)

I have just bought a Tikka T3 Varmint heavy barrel I have put 15 shop bought sako bullets though it witch I have to say it nothing like my 243 ;)& I'm hoping to use these cases

I'm looking for some advice on both a formal to reload & the best sound mod for it

I just thought I would let you all know how I'm getting on with my new Tikka T3 in 308

I started to reload my rounds & went to the land that I use to signting in
I'm using remmition primers sako cases horndy 150 grain heads & Hodge's power.
I started with 43.0 powder & put 3 rounds throw at 150 yards I got a six's inch grouping in the 3 rounds had a cupper.
next I went to 43.5 powder 3 rounds & I got all three in a inch & half grouping.
Then I went to 44. powder & these three went to a 4 inch grouping so off for another cup per & a think
I think I will leave it at the 43.5 powder as I got the best results out off this little test
