Best load for my .308 is 45 grains of varget under a Hdy. 168 BTHP. Question is: to transition to the Berger hunting bullet, any idea what would be a reasonable starting load? I figured someone has surely made the the same transition. Thanks for any help!

44 gr Varget
Lapua brass, fed match primer
Coal 2.880. My box magazine is 2.835 max. So I'm looking to upgrade the rifle to a badger dbm.
But then again make the first shot count.
