Mt. Man,
That is a Leupold 2.5-8x32mm handgun scope. You definitely want to invest in quality optics.
I reload, there are alot of premium loads available. I have been loading the Swift A-Frame 240 gr. for my hunting loads. I have also used Hornady 240 gr. XTP and Barnes XPB 225 gr. The gun is capable of lethal groups just over 100 yds. My suggestion is to zero in at 50 yds. and practice.
Ear protection on stand is a must.
