I have been doing my 308x185gr load development in 0.5gr increments. You still have a ways to go to the 45gr max load... I tend to load 5 at a time instead of 3... I just got some 215 Berger Hybrids, those should be interesting... At least I know the recoil will not be much worse than the 200gr bullets out of my 8x57 at 2400fps....

Yours must be a long action ? Are you loading to SAMI length or longer ? I just increased the seating length on my loads and I am no longer compressing powder. The bullets will jam against the rifling when chambering as per David Tubb recommendations. I was a little surprised that my 243 AI in a short action allowed for the 105gr Bergers to be seated way out at 2.9" overall length and still feed out the magazine with no issue.
