New 204 encore

I am a new member here and looking for some info. Here is the encore I just made up. The trigger was done and is at 1lbs, the frame is durakote matte black and the barrel is a new/unfired MGM shillen select 22" 1 1/4OD 1 in 12 twist stainless. New Muller scope in the mail now. I looked at the reloading forum and see all the different powders and primers/bullets. I am wanting to go with the 32gr SBK in this one and am leaning towards BL-c(2) and BR-4 primers. Anyone have any positive info on a starting choice?
Also anyone have any ballistic info for this for sighting in? I am thinking a 200 zero but what is the drop at 300 and so on? This is for bench and g-hogs.
Thank you very much.

Welcome to the forum!

You might want to start at 28.5g and work up to a Max load around 30.5g. Move up slowly and Watch for pressure signs. :)

I also use a Mueller scope, 4-16x50. Which one do you have coming?

I believe it was the 8-32 with target dot. 30 mm. I have the info at work though.
