Another option, maybe again for the future when stuff reappears, is to drop down more in bullet weight to 125 or 130gr. I picked up a couple of boxes of 130gr TTSXs to try in a 6 1/4lb .308 with no recoil pad. They sorta turn the .308 into a .270 of sorts when pushed hard, but should work okay ru a bit slower too.
The 125 gr. Sierra is fantastic!
