    125gr loads for 308

    Evening All

    Well an old 308 slipped into the gun safe this evening and although I have a packet of ammo which came with it, that will last all of the first range/paddock visit.
    Given that it will probably get used on goats most of the time I was thinking of using the sierra 125gr softpoint.
    Recommendations for powder and loads? Will Ar2206H be alright I have some floating about that I believe is popular in the 308s?
    I'm not looking for max velocity or anything like that, just a good reliable load, with projectiles/powder that are regularly in stock.
    Rifle has 22" barrel and 1:12 twist.
