I am looking for loading data for my Tikka .308 something for 165 -168 grain bullets (SIERRA) . ,any advice is appreciated.

I'm testing some loads with the Sierra HPBT and BLC-2, IMR 4350 and IMR 4064, hopefully tomorrow am. Lots of folks seem to love Varget for the ol 308 and the 168's.
I'll give you any pertinent data I have after I get to the range. Sorry no chronograph.

I had fantastic results with what is listed by some manuals as a max charge of 44.5 grains of IMR 4064, Sierra Gameking 165g HPBT, Federal case and 210M primer. 43.5, 44 weren't bad, less than 1.5" but the 44.5 was very accurate. I also tried BLC-2, the best load was 46 grains, same case and primer.
I'll try to post a picture...
% per group, shot off a Harris bipod.

Sorry the pic was supposed to have my best group of the day with my 6mm instead of two of the same group, but the idiot photoshopping it(me) screwed up.
