Default New Optima V2

Just starting out with a new Optima V2 (thank you Gander Mountain for your liquidation sale) and I am looking for a good starting point for a load. Deer hunting is the primary use. I ordered a breech plug for 209 from Western Powders. I got a recommendation from a friend to start with the 250 grain Barnes T-EZ and 100 grains of BH 209 ignited by Federal 209a priimers. If that shoots well out of my gun I will likely hunt with it this fall. I will shoot 125 yards max, and that will most likely be off a bog pod rest.

Any concerns about that gun/bullet combo?

Thanks,
46r
