Default Antelope load for a 308 win

well bad news I didnt get drawn for antelope but my hunting partner did, the only high power rifle he has is 308 win. him knowing that I reload he wants me to put together a flat shooting load for his rifle Im thinking about using that new barnes 130 grain TSX bullet just im having trouble finding load data for it and i need to figure out what would be a reasonable start charge to work up from for Varget powder? I was thinking probably around 45 grains but im not sure since i know the TSX bullets usually seat a little deeper then regular bullets of the same weight. would 45 grains be safe start charge or should i go lighter? or maybe its too light? thanks in advance
