    I have done extensive 110 gr 30-06 loads. Most were with the intention of making a mild light chuck load. Some were hot loads but gave up because the 110 bullet looses velocity quickly and I discovered that 168gr was "THE" long range bullet. Here goes, approach all loads in increments due to the variation in individual firearms/pressure.
    110gr Sierra hollow point
    35gr 4895
    over/all length 3.0
    primer rem 9 1/2
    results: nice mid range chuck load for sub 150yds. low noise,recoil cut in half

    110gr Sierra hollow point
    48gr 4895
    primer 9 1/2
    O/A 3.05
    Results: explosive on chucks, fairly loud, low recoil

    110gr Sierra hollow point
    57gr 4831
    primer 9 1/2 rem
    O/A 3.10
    Results: Good on chucks out to 400yds with no wind. Explosive on small game.

    110gr Hornady speer point
    42gr 4895
    primer cci large rifle
    O/A 3.05
    Results: Great low recoil varmint load but loud.Less drop than any other 110gr at 300 yd.

    All cases trimmed to 2.45

    Then I tried a 100gr .308dia cast ball with light charge and dacron filler,strickly a winter indoor basement load 25ft, single manual load in bolt action.
    Results: erratic accuracy, cat left home.
    Next a 100gr full metal jacket .307dia M1 carbine bullet (dirt cheap)
    with light load dacron filler, indoor load
    Results: Accurate, cat never did return home!

    Did not include velocity because my barrel is different than yours.
    Hope this helps...go have a good time. 110gr .308 bullets are always cheap at gun shows.
