If you want something really pleasant to shoot and economical on powder, Hodgdon youth load data for a 125gr using H4895 has a huge velocity window.
For the .308 and H4895 they use a formula that lists up to a 60% reduction of a Hodgdon maximum listed charge as safe. ( for H4895 only)
I use 38gr H4895 and 125SSTs for the grandkids neices and nephews as a hunting load. More than the minimum using the reduced load formula, but plenty to get the job done on a deer. One of my nephews took a really nice buck last January on his first ever hunt with one of these loads. The kids will also shoot up 50 rounds of .308 at the range and ask for more.
I've gotten to where I enjoy shooting reduced H4895 and light bullet loads myself because of the reduction in noise, muzzle blast, recoil and powder consumption.
Just thought I'd put it out there in case you're interested.
