While I am not a fan of those pre 1920 actions, I think you are acting prudently.
I have shot thousands of 168 SMK 38 grains IMR 4895 in a 308 standing and sitting rapid fire at 200 yards. This load will clean the standard decimal NRA target.
The wide band of charge weights that IMR 4895 will give X ring accuracy in a 308 and 30-06 is one of the reasons I recommend this powder.
I have also tested and shot this load, which is also very accurate at 200 yards with IMR 4064.
