100 grains of Triple Se7en 2f powder and a 250 grain Shockwave. Try that load and the rifle should tune in pretty fast. Also that would be all you would need to take a whitetail deer. Maybe later down the road you can experiemnt with different loads, powders and bullets, but that should get you started. I like the Remington Kleenbore Primers when I shoot loose powder and Winchester W209 when I shoot pellets.
