Default .308Win load w/26" bbl?

Would appreciate a couple of pet loads that someone out may have, for .308Win through a 26" barrel. I have a lot of 168gr AMax bullets, but not wedded to those. I also have 12lbs of IMR4064, but again, I can get other propellants for this load. My primary aim is to get an accurate load for range shooting at 200yds., working toward a one hole group. I bought this rifle strictly for fun, no hunting in the future for this one.
The rifle is a new Savage Model 10 LE with McMillan stock and Burris Signature scope 6-24x40 on Leupold mount and rings. The other Savage Model 10 that I have is a varmint model in 22-250, with same scope set-up. That rifle has proven to be one the most accurate that I have ever owned.

I was gonna suggest between 44 & 45gr of 4064 or 42 to 43gr of 4895 when using 168gr bullets.

I pulled and inspected a batch of Federal Gold Medal match ammo awhile back - and while this isn't official or scientific.................. their load measured 44.0gr of a powder that could only be a 4064, based on the length of the powder grain. [:@]
