Start with the middle set of loads and work your way up. You may found what many Handi-Rifle owners have found, at a certain amount of recoil (not pressure per se) the rifle will become a self-ejector.
That is, it will spring open immediately after firing. Not unsafe, but very disconcerting. Or, it may not! The difference seems to be some receivers are springier, or stretchier, than others.
Back in 1982 I had a TC Contender in .223 that blew opened on first firing and ejected the case. I didn't try for a second go, but had the dealer I bought the gun and factory ammo from send it and case to TC. Couple weeks later I got a new Contender and barrel back but no explanation.
