  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.
