your gun will not correspond with another frequently , so most of us hand loaders study the loads listed that are similar - then we work the load up . search reloading data , i suggest you look up what Barnes Bullets data say . N140 vhitovori is a cracking 308 powder in my match days 90% where running that
If you are not a competent handloader , seek hands on help as its dangerous to just have a guess . There are small RFDs who will have your rifle and make your ammo .
 
Just use the Sako 120gr data on the Viht site and working up from the start there? N135 is an extremely well suited powder to 130gr monolithics in 308 with the benefit of being abundant so expect it to be also useful with a 120gr bullet. I would also try N133 with that weight bullet just in case, especially if the barrel is 20" or less. N140 as suggested above isn't good advice, it will be too slow burning unless the OP has a barrel of 24" or more which is unlikely for stalking. Case capacity would be an issue too. OP isn't trying to shoot a match, he is trying to kill deer...
 
Here you go milsy.sako loading data
